Silly Question
Guy's
This could very well be the wrong column to ask in, but here goes...
Was an AOD available in F250's with a 460 and 4wd? I'm kicking around a swap idea with my '79
Thanks for your help,
Pat

The AOD was never offered with a big block bolt pattern, it was never installed behind a 5.8 in a truck or in an F250 either.. though it will boltup and perform well with some upgrades. You're limited to the E4OD or one of the manual trannys of course.

A big block E4OD will bolt right in but controlling it is another story, the cheap but more difficult solution is a 460/E4OD wiring harness and computer from a donor truck, the easy but expensive solution involves an aftermarket tranny controller and wiring harness. The first one may only cost you $100 but the second one will be over $1000.

They make an adapter to bolt an AOD behind a big block. Only problem is for the cost you are probably better off using an E4OD and buying a controller for it.
Adapter- AOD Transmission from PATC, AOD Transmissions

Thanks for the input fella's.....The truck has a C6 in it now, I'm kicking around the thought of going to overdrive.....Looks like E4OD is probably the way to go....

E4OD is stronger than the AOD.........C6 is bullet proof, I would stay with it if possible. The key to keeping a E4OD is maintenance, and a big trans cooler.........Don't let it get hot, and problems are avoided.
