I dug around and found this. Any help?
C4 and AOD Dimensions
---------------------
Overall Length (bellhousing to tailshaft housing end, flat-to-flat):
AOD - 30 3/4"
C4 - 30 1/4"
Notes:
"Engine Swapping Tips and Techniques" lists C4 length as 27 3/4" (C6 length
28 1/2" or 28 3/4"). I may have measured to the end of the output shaft,
not to the end of the tailshaft housing.
Distance from Bellhousing to Insulator Mount (flat to mounting hole centerline):
AOD - 21 3/4"
C4 - 19 3/4"
Torque Converter Stud Spacing (centerline-to-centerline)
AOD/C4/164 teeth flexplate - 8 1/4" between closest studs, 11 7/16" between
farthest studs (stud pattern diameter)
C4/157 teeth flexplate - 7 3/4" between closest studs, 10 5/8" between
farthest studs (stud pattern diameter)
Transmission Lengths from "The E4OD", Ford High Performance, April 1995
Trans Bellhousing Overall Length
Face to Trans From Bellhousing
Mount Length To Tailshaft End
C4 20 1/4" 30 1/2"
C6 22 1/2" 33 1/2"
AOD 22 1/4" 30 3/4"
E4OD 29 3/8" 37 1/2"
