AOD Tranny

Good morning all,
I'm considering a transmission change in my 66 because as it is now it's just too low geared for the interstate.
So I'm looking for a Ford Automatic overdrive. I've already changed the rear end gears to a 373 gear set. With 27 inch tires.
Around town it's cool but on the interstate it just tachs too high.


So long story short I'm looking for a AOD Transmission. Would anyone here know where such a item can be found?

Thanks, sa

Performance Automatic makes adapters for mating the AOD to a 460 or FE engine and many others they are a bit pricey but it is an option.

I've got a little 302, Edelbrock carb and manifold, MSD Ignition. Don't know if an adaptor would be necessary I THINK... the AOD would bolt up without.sa

That will work good then. You could get a beefed up one Broad Performance out of Texas
make one that would probably work well for you for and they are around $1200 plus shipping and they will hold up in the truck.
