Who's running what rear end gears behind their AOD's???? I'm putting an AOD behind my 302, and figured since the rear end is out for cleaning, I may as well plop in some gears...
3:55...3000 stall...2200 RPM@ 80MPH... i called the guys at ...EDGE...told them what my motor spec. were and what i wanted to use the car for. they told me what ...stall...and rear gear to get. ... ...
How well does an AOD fit in the Mav's ? I was wondering since it's some people's opinions:16suspect that the C6 and FMX's don't fit. If these don't, it stands to reason the AOD won't either. All use the same large bellhousings. Same clearances are problems in V8 Ranger swaps too sometimes.
O.D. is wonderfull. I have a T-5 in front of my 3.70s. Turns them into 2.52s in overdrive.... With the AOD and its .67 overdrive 4.56 = 3.05 3.80 = 2.55 4.11 = 2.75
'71 and up...great (with one of my crossmembers). ...frank... I love my AOD...have i mentioned that before?
Aod In my Mustang I ran 3.73's for a while and then 4.10's. I had 28 inch tall tires, combination worked great even with a loose convertor. Mine was a non-lockup, as my car was very race oriented for a street car, so I had to run a really good trans cooler. My Fairlane has 3.73's with a Tremec 5 speed, and that works out great. 80mph is around 2400rpm. My wife's turbo Maverick will have a 4R70W, which is an AOD with a lower first and second gear, will probably run either 3.27's or 3.55's.
I want to put more miles on my 3.55's. So far it seems a bit lethargic (thanks to spell check) from a dead stop. I was even looking at a 4.63. Seems to go from 4.11 to 4.63 for a 8" rear. Phil
Dave; I run 3:55's in my T5, which is pretty close in the overdrive. Not too bad out of the hole, but could be better. Great on the highway. I turn about 2300 rpm at 80mph, and get about 23mpg on the highway. Good luck!
I'm building a driver more than a race car, so they should work. What really amazes me is when I priced them today from NPD they were $315 US, and I called my local speed shop, asked for Richmond Gears, and I can get them here, without shipping for $260 Canadian..
