Naw... manuals are just more fun to drive... not faster than a preped auto, but more fun... in my opinion...

Question.........In all these guides about the swap it talks about making the 302 heads work, never talks about keeping the 351 heads. why?

It will work, but the stock AODs are weak. There are some companies making parts for them or modded/strengthened assemblies to handle more HP/TQ.

The flexplate that was used with the AOD should work fine.

You can't use the stock Flexplate. It is 50 oz imbalance while the 351w is 28 oz. You can get the correct one from Ford Racing, TCI, JW, or any of the other trans companies
