AOD for a 390?
Does anyone know if an automatic overdrive will bolt up to a 390? I do a lot of highway driving on the beautiful desert roads of the south-west. I presently have a 3.25 rear end. 30 inch rear tires . At 50mph it''s doing 2000 rpm. I know the 390 torque will pull well at low rpms.

James, There is a manual OD that will work, but no inexpensive auto OD that will bolt up to the FE.

there is a place in New York that modifies AOD's to fit big block Fords, Chevies, and Dodges. I don't remember their name but is something like PB Performance. They claim to be able to handle 800 horsepower. Now, if you're sitting down, they sell for about $2500. A friend has one behind a 460 in his 55 and likes it alot.
