AODE without a computer. Wouldn't that be the AOD?

As far as C4 or AOD goes, I don't know an awful lot about either. Neither are overly strong in stock form, but either can be built to hand;e a lot of torque and the 302 isn't a torquer to begin with, so I'd think either would be fine from a strength standpoint.

ThAOD has an overdrive and a lockup torque converter. Both are great if you care about mileage. But both add a little complexity if that's your biggest concern.

My thought is that the AOD would be the best choice for almost everybody, but some might prefer the C4.

What is the scope of the project? That will help determine a reasonable answer/opinion.
