460/Aod Is This Possible?
I have a 78 f150 4x4 with 351m/c6. I'm wanting to put in a 460. The question is that I'm thinking about putting an Aod trans in it. Is there anyway to do this or do I have to stick with the c6.

I must be thinkin of the wrong one then. Friend of mine's 97 f350 before he built the engine and swapped in a c6, has the 460, and had an automatic. It's not the aod?

An AOD wasn't offered behind a 351, much less a 460, and certainly not an F350. The AOD was considered a light duty transmission. However, they can be beefed up to work behind the bigger engines.
The AOD was dropped after 1993. Your friend's F350 must have had a 4R70W, which is a revised, computer-controlled automatic overdrive transmission. The earlier AOD has no computer to run it and is completely mechanical, making it a popular swap on older vehicles.

I had a '90 F250 2WD SC w/460 and auto transmission. It came with factory overdrive with a switch on the dash to activate it, when desired, but I couldn't tell you they model or type of transmission but I'm sure Bill would know.
I too would like to have something like that in my '74 F350 w/460 but based upon my research, it would be very expensive and probably cost prohibitive.

The AOD never had the switch on the dash to de-activate the overdrive gear; that would have been one of the newer computer-controlled automatic overdrive transmissions.
The overdrive on the AOD could only be de-activated by the gear selector on the column. The column on the AOD would have been set up like this: P R N OD D 1. The OD would be the overdrive gear of course, and the D would be the overdrive lockout position. The earliest models would have had P R N OD 3 1.

E4OD / The O/D switch could be on the dash, but it's also on the end of the shift lever (depends on apps), is notorious for snapping off. At least once a wwek, someone is b!tchin' about the little charmer.
