Ford Automatic Overdrive Transmission

[Byrdman]

Hello again everyone. It has been some months since I updated my build thread, but an update is coming soon. In the mean time I am looking for feedback. I decided some time ago to put a Ford AOD transmission in my Mk Iv kit. I have just learned that the two braces from the top of the trans tunnel into the engine compartment on the Mark IV kit possibly have to be "moved."

Before I place my order for an engine and transmission, I would like to know if anyone else has installed a AOD and what I am in for? Thanks in advance. Teddy

Here's one thread from the other forum. Probably more to be found over there. Plus maybe post the same question there. Still has more traffic.

I had an AOD in my MKIII when I first built it, I am not aware of the changes on the frame on the MKIV that would require mods, the trans "A" frame will need to be modified for the trans pan. But its a minor mod.
