Hello everyone. I wonder if someone could help me out a bit with an upcoming project. Thanks.

I have a '75 F-350, with a worn out 390 and a good C-6. I want to replace it with a 300 inline, and an AOD trans (not an EAOD).

I have not purchased either yet, as I'm still in the process of educating myself about the variables, etc.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW: To bolt one to the other, with the 300 bolt to any AOD? and if not, what years, models, etc. will bolt to which. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

As I recall the AOD was offered with the 300. On the other hand I don't believe it was offered in the F350. It's not known to be real stout.

 

Thanks for the note. I don't haul much with the truck, so I think the AOD will be great for long trips.

Also, regarding strength: From reading all the trans sites, the 92-93 truck AOD's were the strongest, so I looking for one of them. There are also quite a few after market goodies I can get to add when I have it rebuilt (prior to installation), which will make it even more durable and smooth.

 

id go with a c6,its a 3 speed,but its real tough,my personal favorite is the zf5.it has a granny low and od....but its all up to u

 

I am in the process of putting a 300-6 in my 1990 F350 dually. I am mating it up to a AOD. I dont plan on using overdrive much. This is the AOD's weak link. The truck had a 7.3L but was locked up. Hopefully in the next few weeks it will be up and running. AOD gets a bad rap sometimes but if you keep the TV cable adjusted properly it will last along time.

 

If you didn't have them already, sites with AOD info/parts/boxes:

AOD Transmission from PATC, AOD Transmissions

AOD Performance Products - Baumann Electronic Controls


www.CKPerformance.com

Probably the best on for info, as well as the other stuff including prices, they have a TV cable adjustment link:

TCI - Ford AOD, AODE and 4R70W

Good luck with your project.

Also, these sites mention '88-'93 for cores, so your tip on the '92-'93 truck boxes is sound. And, afaik, the AOD was only produced in the 300/302 et. al. bolt pattern.
