my question is directed to the auto experts in the house

my understanding is the AOD is basically a retooled C-4 is this correct or just a rough statement

if it is a retooled c4 , if it can be done , how much modification or what needs machining needs to be done to fit aod guts to a c6 main body housing

the reason is I have to modify some part of aod at some stage as its to go behind a 400 and that has a big block bell housing bolt pattern and I have the c6 to suit already , but to modify the aod to suit means cutting off the bell and buying a jw conversion bell
but the main bodys of the aod are as I stated above are meant to be a retooled c4 and look very simular to the c6 in the body

 

Not even close.


About the only similarity is Ford.

An AOD can be made to fit as you said by removing the bell housing.

AOD uses a planetary and a few clutches similar to an FMX.

Pan bolts will interchange.
