Ford aod trans to a 292 ci y-block
Hi; Fordbarners I have a 1957 ford with a rebuilt 292 c.i and would like to know if anyone has put a Ford aod transmission on to the y-block I have seen a few articles on this change over but they seem awful pricey. Can anyone help me out here?.

Re: Ford aod trans to a 292 ci y-block
A friend of mine has done this. Imported a kit from the US and yes they are pricey but if you can afford it, they are a great modification. With late model flexplates becoming more and more scarce these kits start to look attractive. You don't want o know what I was quoted from a supplier for one of these drive plates. The kits come with pretty much everything you need right down to the high torque mini starter.
You need to make sure if you use this transmission that the TV cable is properly adjusted as it is possible to turn a box to toast in a very short time. At the end of it you end up with a real sweet driving ride. Regards

Bendtsen's http://www.transmissionadapters.com/ford_y_block.htm has a AOD to Y-Block adapter. Cost you ~$850 for the adapter kit plus the price of an AOD. I think you also have to have the driveshaft shortened. Not sure on that.
Flat-O-Matic makes the C-4 to Y-Block adapter. http://flat-o.com/carproducts/yblock.htm That's what I have in my Ranch. |

Re: Ford aod trans to a 292 ci y-block
Dav don't have a number for the starter he used but you can find one at this site.
http://www.autoelec.com/html/y_block...uction_st.html Mummert's Ford Y site also lists starters. Hope this helps. Regards
