Based on info posted here, yes. SBF V8 and 240-300 six have same bell pattern.

Flex plate, starter, and other issues must be researched as well.

Well, I'm not a tranny man, but the info here and at other sites says that the bell to block pattern for 289 302 351 etc matches the 300 six. The 255 was the same block as the 289-302, so I can't see them making a different bolt pattern for the bell on that couple of year's production. Perhaps a Ford parts man could be of assist? Or a tranny shop guy? You should have it checked before you bolt it up anyway.

These boys talk big and look like they know about the AOD:

REad on. Bauman site has great info. Most have help line or email for your 255 to 300 questions.






Good luck.....
