Most likely will have to do some serious transmission finagling, since the owner told me that he had to put in a earlier model F-150 tranny to fit in under the body. Apparently it's smaller than the later model Transmissions, which leads me to believe that there might not be much room for a transfer case if I wanted to go for a four-wheel drive upgrade. I'm going to look at the truck next week, he's asking 6500 for it.

That's high ($6500) IMO, but a lot of people do use the F150 trans for a 5.0L 2wd swap, and you can't make a 98-00 into a 4wd without swapping to a 4x4 frame. You can with a 01 up 2wd Ranger Edge but earlier models you can't.
