I have another trans question???
OK I am in the process of building a 78 bronco, I was going to do a 460 swap but decided to go with my fresh 351w (better on gas)
so I was going to convert the the 2whl c-6 that I have for the windsor to a 4whl trans(op shaft swap) but we want to move from up north to down south somewhere so I'm thinking that a overdrive would be a better idea??
the bronco will be used to pull a trailor during the move more + likely
so my question is what trans do you all think I should go with?
I would like to make it as easy + cheap as possible??
so any help would be greatly appreaciated Thanks Rick

Properly Beefed AOD. Available for $2200 or so from some vendors.
AOD needs upgrades, needs to be a later case etc or it won't last.
Read On, get your checkbook out.

(TCI advertises here, I think)
Don't waste your time on a $150 job out of a early Crown Vic at the scrappy.....

Cheap and easy = unreliable imo, especially with auto trans.
Do you know what to get to convert the c6?
Do the math on the gas too, you won't save much no matter what you do here as it's the weight and massive hole you are punching in the air, so you'd have to drive lots to save the money it would take to go OD, again, imo.
(not to mention changing from 460 to 351....)
