Ford-o-matics were the only direct bolt up, you can still get rebuild kits for them. These became the Cruise-o-matic, then morphed in the FMX later, but all the bell patterns are different. One of the joys of being a Ford man...
Adaptors exist to adapt the AOD but it's $850 for the adaptor including the starter. Scroll down just over half way here:
AOD Transmission from PATC, AOD Transmissions
Someone here has an E4OD on a Y, not sure how he did it.
You may also want to contact:
Advance Adapters.Com Engine & Transmission Conversion Adapters
I think they are the source of the trans center adaptor anyway, and they may have others.

Thanks for the offer. At this point I'm exploring my options on which way to go.

1961/64 F100/350's with 292's used the 3 speed FX Cruise-O-Matic, not a Ford-O-Matic.
The FX C-O-M is the little brother to the MX C-O-M used in 1958/67 FE cars (exc 428's), 1965/67 F100/350's with the 352.
Find one a those 1961/64's with a C-O-M, swap everything over.
The crossmember that's riveted to the frame where the tranny mounts fit is the same for a M/T or an A/T, so everything is a bolt on operation.

The September 1999 issue of Street Rodder Magazine had a story devoted to using the FMX behind a y-block. It was part #7 of a series of articles that year titled "Y-Notta Y-Block".
Flat-O Products sells adapters to mount a C4 behind the y-block too.

Just to clarify: The FMX is not a FX C-O-M.
The FX (small C-O-M) and MX (big C-O-M) were introduced in 1958.
The FMX was introduced in 1969.
