300 with an AOD project
300 AOD combo flex plate-torque converter
300 / AOD flex plates have a 17/32" offset, when measured from crank mounting flange surface, to torque converter mount pads surface.
Others, including C6 and E40D, have a 23/32" offset.
Hollander # for correct flex plate: 409-730
Ford p/n: E3TZ-6375-G
E3TZ-6375-G 14.23" Diameter, No weight
I used -> ATP Flexplate Z-198

If you're going to do any type of hauling/towing, then the AOD is a poor choice. It is know as a weak trans. I know the OD is great to have, but when you're fried on the side of the road, the C6 is a monster auto trans.
Good luck.
Good luck.
