yo!
A 5 speed is a bigger job I believe. How about a strong ZF?
ZF Swaps; SEE TRANSMISSION, Manual, ZF Section in my broncolinks.com site
One thing I have found out from some good Ford E4OD folks is that a standard TC should be used in-lieu of any "high performance" TC.

Filter, Internal, Grommet Warning; "...When ever you go to change your trans filter, Always make sure to pull out the little round rubber do hicky thingamabob. Lets call it a gromit or a seal? Theres this part of the trans filter that is inserted into the trans (a round tube that goes up into this hole ); Now the tube has a gasket of sorts that wraps around the tube ( kinda like a wide O-ring )It form a seal between the tube and the hole it goes in. Well what ended up killing my trans was that fact that the last guy that changed the trans filter didnt notice that this o-ring thing (gromit Or what ever) did'nt come out with the filter it stayed in the hole! He left it in there; & installed the new filter witch had its preinstalled gromit already; So what he did, is he (unknowingly) stacked two gromits on top of each other, Witch did not let the filters tube fit as it should. It was starving itself for fluid!! It was sucking air as well as tranny fluid! (in other words not working right) ..."

Torque Converter Installation/Preparation general by drivetrain.com

Many torque converter problems can be avoided with proper preparation:
1) Pre-thread converter bolts by hand to make sure there is no sign of stripped threads.
2) Check and clean crankshaft thoroughly. Change crank spacer (if applicable).
3) Use 320 grit sandpaper or Emory cloth to remove any metal shavings on crankshaft.
4) Check converter for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
5) Pre-fill converter with a minimum of (1) quart of transmission fluid.
6) Clean all paint off the pilot using 320 grit emory cloth.
7) Apply grease, not transmission gel, on the pilot.
8) Check flexplate for cracks and be sure there is no more than .006" run out.
9) Make sure all engine dowel pins are in place and clean.
10) Make sure all electrical ground straps are properly connected.
11) Never, Never use an impact gun to install torque converter bolts. Driving a bolt into the converter cover will create a dimple on the lockup apply surface. Lockup clutch failure will occur when the lockup piston applies against and uneven surface. Grinding off on thread length from all lockup converter bolts is recommended to avert this type of failure.

Torque Converter Operation Test & Cutaway Depiction;
"...If the shudder occurs
a) during the 3-4 or 4-3 shift at HEAVY throttle,
or B) at 40mph in 2, OD OFF, and OD, or c) at the same RPM in every gear,
or d) coasting, cruising, or in R, or e) during extended light braking,
then
it is NOT TC clutch shudder;
The following is a list of common vehicle concerns that have been misdiagnosed as torque converter clutch shudder. For diagnosis of the following items, refer to the appropriate sections of the workshop manual and the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis manual (PCED). Spark plugs - check for cracks, high resistance or broken insulators. Plug wires. Fuel injector - filter may be plugged. Fuel contamination - engine runs poorly. EGR valve - valve may let in too much exhaust gas and cause engine to run lean. Vacuum leak - engine will not get correct air/fuel mixture. MAP/MAF sensor - improper air/fuel mixture. HO2S sensor - too rich/lean air/fuel mixture. Fuel pressure - may be too low. Engine mounts -loose/damaged mounts can cause vibration concerns. Axle joints - check for vibration..."
