[QUOTE="Sheriff41, post: 406850, member: 6599"] About 15 years ago I retrofitted an AOD out of an 86 5.0 Mustang into my '72. I replaced the seals, put a in a 2300-2500 stall converter, and used a Lokar TV cable kit. A lot of people make a big deal out the TV pressure adjustment but it's really pretty straightforward and simple. I've had no problems to date. I don't track the car but do enjoy frequent "spirited" driving. Oh, and I run a 3.89 rear gear. If I were to do it today I would look into an AODE/4R70W. If you use an AOD try to use one out of a late 80's to early 90's donor. The later AODs incorporated improvements by Ford. Also, I would probably go with a 3.50 or 3.70 gear, though the 3.89 is fun and at cruise in overdrive (4th) is about the same as the old 3.25/C6 combination. [/QUOTE]
