    Does anyone know the measurement for the transmission mount on a C-4 compared to an AOD? I know the AOD is longer and the stock transmission mount must be moved back or reworked when installing an AOD.
    I ask because I did some work for a guy that owns a machine shop the specializes in tube bending, and he said it would be an easy part for him to make, so maybe I'll get him to whip out a few.

    Frank can probably get that info for you.

    By the way, have you heard that Frank loves his AOD? He's not making it to widely known, he loves that AOD.;)

    Thanks Frank, I am going to put an AOD in the 71 Grabber I got from Doug, which should be the same as your 73.
