the transmission of my 1953 ford customline is broken. now i want to replace the fordomatic with a aod trans. today i saw a offre of a aerostar trans on ebay that interests me. here is the link http://www.ebay.at/itm/Ford-Aerostar-Automatikgetriebe-/380470855677?fromMakeTrack=true here is a link with the technical specifications of the car: http://www.decodethis.com/VIN-Decoded/vin/1FMDA31X7PZB90585 Now my question: is this is a aod transmission like this one of speedway (i have the original flathead)? http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Flathead-V8-to-Ford-AOD-Transmission-Conversion-Kit,25353.html thank you and sorry for my bad english richard
NO, that won't work, you want an AOD from a 1988-93 rear wheel drive car like a Mustang or Crown Victoria or Thunderbird it can be from a 3.8 V6 or a 5.0 V8 these years have the later internal upgrades and are still non-computer.You will need a TV cable kit from LOKAR ,these transmissions will work with the AOD to flathead adapter kit.
ok, thanks for the answer. is this the better choice? http://www.ebay.de/itm/351372930814?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Yes, LOL, sorry for the confusion caused by my bad wording, which I've corrected....... And the OP was apologizing for his "bad" English...which is actually very good.
he wrote that this is a automatic transmission out of a ford mustang v8, build in dezember 1989. the engine should be a 305
That is the ideal year for an AOD,he probably meant it had a 302 also known as a 5.0. Here is a picture of an install: http://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56456 If you get this transmission you will need the 164 tooth flexplate and this kit: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Flathead-V8-to-Ford-C4-Transmission-Basic-Adapter-Kit,11051.html And this starter http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Ford-Mi...que-/130682177932?hash=item1e6d43c98c&vxp=mtr I ***ume you have converted to 12 volts?
perfect!!!! thank you very much. do i need also this parts: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-C4-Transmission-Drive-Shaft-Slip-Yoke,9317.html http://www.speedwaymotors.com/ARP-Fasteners-200-2902-Chevy-Flexplate-Bolts,5150.html http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-C4-Ford-C6-Transmission-Cushions,4293.html or do they just wanna sell parts on speedway?
All the parts you listed are wrong,the notes on the slip yoke state " not for AOD" the bolts are listed for a Chevy,and the cushion is wrong application. You need this: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-6379AK/79-95-Mustang-Aod-Flexplate-6pc-Bolt-Kit If you had this it has the correct front yoke: http://www.ebay.com/itm/82-83-84-85...el:Crown+Victoria&hash=item2a4de8418a&vxp=mtr Then you change the rear U-joint to this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-506 then it will bolt right up to your stock rear end. www.rockauto.com has the flexplate part# Z157 $37.79 and the trans mount Westar # EM 2253 $3.28
ok, finally i got all the parts and everything fits well, except the starter. what i need to do with the starter? grind the block?
i ordered this starter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Ford-Mi...177932?hash=item1e6d43c98c&vxp=mtr&rmvSB=true
It would be great if you could post some step by step pictures of the install when you get all the parts together.Also it's pretty EZ to make your Ford-O-Matic column work with the AOD contact this member: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/conversations/add?to=rustyfords He has pictures and instructions in a blog.
