AOD Q's

I am going to swap an aod into my f100 with a 302 and just have some questions: what does an aod look like? does it have an L-like shaped pan? what will i have to do for a flexplate with the different balances? can i use the one from my c6? will i possible be able to use my existing starter? if not, what starter will i have to use? thank you

Same picture here too man, going for the 302/AOD combo into my 54 F100 but want to know what do I need to make sure that the non-fi beast can handle the 302 with no problems. I dont want any computer anything. Is there a kit to bypass all that crap or what???

The AOD was a non electronic transmission that used a TV cable/rod to control the shifts. they can be installed without any electronics and if are built right can maintain some 500-600 hp engines for quite a while.

hope i helped!

i just removed the c6? out of my 81 f150 2wd 302 and put in an aod for a 89 f150 to compensate the switch from 2.75 to 3.90 gears. the aod is 3 inches shorter than the tranny i pulled out. a different z bar(bellcrank) needs to be used from a newer truck withan aod to keep your prndlr indicator reading right. to hook up the tv linkage to the carb use a tv cable and holder off of a fuel injected 5.0 or 5.8l truck. i hooked the end of the linkage with a tie strap to the throttle cable at the carb where it clips on to the carb( i have a holley 4bbl of a late 70s 460) then build a bracket to hold the cable and bolt it to the intake manifold. after it is hooked up set the tv pressure with a gauge and use the fuel injected pressure specs. i didn't change flywheels or the crossmember. i then used a chevy 2wd 88 305 auto driveshaft and conversion ujoints

Ok, as I remember it, you need an '89-'92 AOD, 91-92 truck MUCH preferred(wide ratio gears). 14 bolts on the pan. Need to shorten drive shaft. Must run a 50 oz. damper and a 50oz. 164 tooth flywheel. No computer controls. TV cable from Lokar. Carb either a early 80's 2 barrel or an edelbrock 1405/6 or a holley with a tang on the throttle shaft extending straight down with a hole 1 1/8" off center of shaft. I haven't dealt with starter yet. Transgo shift kit looks good. Got one on Ebay for $40 the other day. 3.90 gears with stock tires will cruise at 2400rpm at 72 mph. good luck!
