The FMX in my 69 XR7, 351 2V is starting to have some problems, which is just the excuse I need to replace it with a better tranny. I've heard some talk about both the AOD and a 5 speed manual conversion.
The car is my daily driver, and has tall 2.83 (I think) rearend gearing. I'd probably change it to a 3.50 with the new tranny, which would give me a lot more power without sucking any more gas.
I'm leaning towards an AOD, but don't know really anything other than it's a 4 speed automatic. Is it a drop-in replacement, or are heavy modifications required? If I have to cut into the car too much I'll probably just have my FMX rebuilt. Also, anyone know about how much an AOD unit costs?
