1952-59 Ford C4 to AOD bellhousing

I recently picked up a 54 customline with a 312 and a c4.
The ****** has a Y block bellhousing. Can this bell housing be used for an AOD install? Or will I need an adapter to run the AOD.

Any info is appreciated.

 

Need an adapter. The bellhousing on a aod isn’t removable like the c4

 

If it currently has a C4 it probably already has the adapter needed for an AOD, to verify call this place and talk to a Tech https://transmissioncenter.net/shop...d-transmission-on-a-ford-y-block-motor-fo301/

 

The adapters for a C4 to a YBlock that I have seen have a new bellhousing specifically made for the conversion. Won't work with an AOD.

 

Here is the straight answer, I asked the Chat Tech to confirm, the only difference is in the flexplate see the notes. https://www.transdepot.net/Ford-Y-Block-to-AOD-Adapter_p_746.html

Notice the prices in these articles ? WOW ! Great example of inflation, I think we know the cause.

 

Now, now, Jeff. We mustn't jump to conclusions!

 

Corporate greed, screw the worker, screw the consumer and pay the share holders. Has little to do with whose in DC.

 

The Flat-O-Matic kit includes a replacement bellhousing, it does not use a flat adapter as shown above.

 

Yes, the Gene Benson kit sold as Flat-O-Matic has a custom bell housing, flexplate, crankshaft adapter, and a starter nose with a new bendix. Here are some photos of a C-4 with a 292 installed using one of Gene's kits. Like has been said, a C-4 has a separate bell housing, AOD has a one piece case with bell housing cast on, not removeable.
