Weird. 

Am I wrong that the 5.0 never came with a stick? Doing some parts numbers comparison on rockauto, and they list a manual trans for that vehicle + the various parts. 

I also looked at the starter motor selection for the 4.2 v6 F150 (1999), and noticed that they make no distinction between auto and manual starters. Come to think of it, when I bought a new starter for my 98 F150, I just bought one. Didn't think too much about whether it was for an auto or manual. 

Perhaps the whole swapping starters thing isn't a thing anymore? We'll find out at some point on this project.
