I picked up an AOD to replace the C6 with in my 73 Gran Torino Sport.My question is what rear mount and crossmember should be used? The AOD was out of a 1988 F150 2wd and I have rear mounts and crossmembers from a C6 or a FMX. Info from those who have preformed this swap would be greatly appreciated.

i used an aftermarket poly mount but it fit the same as the original fmx, same cross member (i can't remember if i had to trim the front lip of the cross member for pan clearance or not??? if i did it was minor but the AOD is basically the same size, and i swapped front driveline yokes same u-joint just used the AOD yoke

Crossmember did not need any modifications.
I just bought a rear trans mount for an 85 Crown Vic. bolts right up to the tranny and the crossmember. |
