    Frank, or anyone else for that matter, do the AOD's differ in the trucks from year to year. My father-in-law has a '90 Van with 302/AOD combo. He said he'd sell it to me cheap for the motor and trans. I didn't know if the combo would fit. Guess I'll have to watch this thread for results......

    So the stock shift lever can be rotated 180 degrees hugh? sweet. Do you have to take out the whole thing from the inside or can it be done externally? I need to get back to my swap. Car has been on jackstands for 3 weeks. Been too busy and low on money.
