After some thought I think I might be going with a C4 out of a F-150 (should be fairly easy to find seeing as how all the j/y around here dont have an AOD and I cant afford a new one or a rebuild). My questionsare what will have to be changed to make it work? Will the shifter linkage need to be modified? Also what vin code should I look for? I know itshould be an inline6 or a 302from 1965-83 but other then that what doIneed to look for?The driveshaft should work fine correct? Sorry if I have a lot of questions but I am not sure about transmissions, 12 volts I know but trans im [sm=wtf.gif]. Thanks for any and all help, cant wait to get this beast on the road. Just bought it and havent been able to enjoy it. UGH!!

C4s are great. id suggest getting a street/strip rebuilt one. youll need linkage, converter, basic accesories. it should bolt up fairly easy. good luck!

alright so i will need the torque converter from the donor vehicle. What other accesories will i need and where can i get the correct linkage?

why dont you just find an AOD out of any vehicle? like, t-birds, taurus, f-150, mustang, some vans i think all had them, im sure you could find one if you looked yourself instead of askign the people at the junkyard

the linkage can be found in a donor vehicle. or itd be easyer to just get a aftermarket one.

302, that is the route I am probably going to go after doing some research. I was having a serious brain fart and never once did it dawn on me other cars would have them too . I guess I was just so stressed over everything my mind overlooked that fact. Would they only be behind V8's or would the straight sixes and other 6 cylinders have them too (aod that is)?

Yeah there are others. my Pa's ranger has a AOD i think

yea i found a listing on good on wikiapedia that gives the years and makes that other cars containing the aod but it dont tell what size motor. thanks for all the help so far.
