The AOD will cost a lot to make it as strong and reliable as a C6 with the torque and hp a 460 will put out. You might just want to get a Gear Vendor unit and have a super strong 6 speed C6.

There is an excellent and very complete discussion of this swap written by Danny Cabral in the archives. I found it by entering "C-6 to AOD 429". His was on a Bronco - but same difference. (Not cheap - but sounds great.)
