Why would you not want to use the AOD? What do you hope to gain by being rid of the overdrive? Most folks these days think having OD is a plus.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. The bolt pattern you're trying to match is on the back of the block, not the transmission, and with the right combination of parts, the AOD will work behind small or big block engines.

AOD's have a detachable bellhousing where the C-6 case is all one piece, so therefore, if you want to put a C-6 behind a small block, you need a small block C-6. They are out there, and tend to go for quite a bit of money because people seem to think they need one.

Just curious in what years and vehicles was the AOD with a detachable bellhousing available? I remember the FMX having a detachable one which is what the AOD was partially derived from. That detachable bellhousing version of the AOD sounds interesting...

Aftermarket AOD will have a 460 bolt pattern bellhousing....not cheap!
C6 with small bolt pattern can be found, but usually in 4x4 tail housing form. Can switch the tail housing and tailshaft to 2wd, though. (I have a 4x4 version behind my 300 6 in my '79 Bronco)
C6 is a one piece case, as is the AOD.
C4 will have a removeable bell housing and are usually in the small block bolt pattern, though some big block (460) bolt pattern bells can be found.
If you are having trouble adjusting the AOD, or it's already toast, and you must go into "rebuild mode", then I would still use the AOD for a small block engine. Dollar for dollar, it's going to net you the best return in the end. My 2 cents.

I was thinking of the Lentech AOD, but they use a JW Ultrabell, after the original bell is cut off the trans.
Dynamic Racing Transmissions, LLC - Torque Converter Techniques can build the Lentech strip terminator....again not cheap, lol. Not sure if this site is still working, but a fella over on the fox tbird forum I frequent had one for sale last year.
