I have a 1964 Ford Falcon Station Wagon and I am thinking of swapping the original Ford-o-Matic for an AOD. The car has the 170 ci I-6 and was wanting to know if anyone has tried this. Figured I would not reinvent the wheel if someone has tried this swap. If not an AOD what would you swap to or should I just look into getting the 2 speed rebuilt? I am looking for some direction at this point.
I don't have an answer for you other than check out this site, there is a ton of info over there on Falcons. http://www.tffn.net/
The bell housings are different, early VS late model bolt patterns. much easyer to swap the engine and trans package.
Mike Miller has a good point. My '64 has a 200ci and a C-4 from a 65 Mustang in it. Also check the fordsix.com forums Norton
Taken from WIKI250 The 250 cu in (4.1 L) straight six was an engine option offered in 1969 in the Mustang, and 1970 in medium-sized Ford cars (Maverick). The 250 was a stroked 200, made by changing the stroke from 3.126" to 3.91". Output was 155 hp (115 kW) in the Mustang, and became the base engine in 1971. Power was re-evaluated at 98 hp (73 kW) for 1972 (due to power rating changes) and 88 hp (66 kW) the next year. The last year of production for the 250 was 1980. This engine had seven main bearings, and can be identified by the five freeze (core) plugs on the side of the block. The block uses a low mount starter and six bellhousing bolts, sharing its bellhousing with the Windsor V-8s 302-351W, late (1965-68) 289, 351 Cleveland, early 4.6, and the 240-300 CID Ford Six.
