    Hey I have a 71 mercury comet that I put a 5.0 out of a 86 thunderbird with what I think is a c5 transmission can I use c4 transmission lines or do I have to c5 lines. If so does anyone have ideas where?

    Is it an AOD?
    If so, I just grafted the C4 lines near the radiator to 89 Mustang 5.0 AOD lines.

    I think C5 was history by '86(at least behind 5.0). If it has a bolt on bell it's a C5, cast on bell AOD.

    If it's a AOD be sure the TV cable is correctly set(not on C5), if not line pressure will be low and likely burn clutches first time you drive it.
