One issue is limited clearance for the linkage inside the tunnel. Easy enough to overcome though.
Also, the wimpy factory Ex 5.0 transmission mount is not even up to the task for the small original AWD case. The huge (by comparison) 4406 will destroy it even quicker.
The manual 4406 case is easily ID'd because it doesn't have the electric shift motor on the back and it does have a small shift arm on the front.
When I was looking, the most common donors were 96~03 4.2 V6 F150 4x4 with manual transmission. Less common is the F150/F250 w/modular V8/manual transmission/4x4 of the same years. Also may find on the 2004 "Heritage" model with the same powertrains.
