C6 vs AOD
I have a 351C, mostly stock....Im trying to decide on what transmission i should run with it...I want overdrive so i was going to go with the AOD. Ive heard from abunch of people that they are junk and will need rebuilding after a few months...So i started looking into a C6 with an overdrive unit...I deff want to keep the truck an automatic and i need the 4th gear cause i have 4.11s in the rear and i need the extra gear to just get a lil more out of it...What do you guys think, any pros/cons to either transmission? Im not really a transmission guy so i dont know much about that...Thanks in advance.

An AOD can be built up to take enormous amounts of power. If you can find locally who really knows what they're doing, they can make an AOD darn near bulletproof.
In stock form, yeah, they stink.
Doesn't the 351C have the larger bellhousing pattern?
