hi guys I have a couple of questions I hope some one can help me with I picked up a 1960 ford starliner from the 87 year old widow next door 43k mi nice car black on black she bought it new I have been picking up parts for about 2 yrs fresh 40 over 312 y block 4 weel disc brakes air ride sys now I am down to the trans it has a 2 sd fordomatic I have found a couple of places to git adapters to an aod my question is this a good choice if so what year and model core should I be looking for Ive spent most my life in chevyland so I could use some input thanks ted

Do they make an adapter for a 700R? Since you have to make a driveshaft and modify the crossmember anyway it might be a thought. I would go with an early AOD and avoid any of the later big ugly things..

hi 427 I dont know of an adapter for a700r4 none of my internet research has turned up any but I have 2 good 700 so that would make life easy for me if any one knows of any please let me know thanks ted

www.transmissionadapters.com/Pricing.htm I found this one, hope the link works.. They sure don't give those things away

The best non-computer AOD's are from '87-91 prior years had their share of weakneses,also go to www.transmissioncenter.net for your complete adapter kit and other AOD parts( Overdrives are the specialty) ,don't be afraid to give the Tech people there a call for advice, real good people!
