    torn b/w 373 or 410s for my AOD...

    For either, it's going to be rough on your output shaft bushing at the end of the tailshaft housing as it's only splash lubricated. Check out www.tccoa.com, their tech page on transmissions, first article. go back about 2/3 in the article or more, it describes and shows you how to pressure...

    pedestal mount roller rockers.

    I put a set on when I did my 351. I wrote up some instructions right out of the Ford manual. Also, as mentioned bove, both the Crane and Comp websites have good instructions and tech info. Look in the Tech section under engine at the www.lincolnsonline.com site

    High Idle

    I recently installed a mild 351 using the basic stock efi. For the first several hundred miles of local driving, it idled fine at about 700, and I was able to set it. I did set the tps voltage after setting the warm idle speed. Lately, it's been idling a little over 1000, although...

    Why does the AOD shift so low??

    The AOD isn't controlled by the computer, but rather by the governor and the valve body. It's a combination of things, some of which can be modified to some degree. Baumann's shift kit can modify the shift points somewhat, and their website explains some things about the governor also.

    91 AOD wont shift out of 1st

    the TCI tranny website has good, complete instructions even including diagrams. The little gauge block they talk about is .400" thick. I used a 100 lb oil pressure gauge with a wide sweep to get a fairly accurate reading. Look at the various trans articles on...

    351 PS & AC adapter bracket question

    Does that Ford M-8511-B351 bracket totally replace the stock 302 bracket or does anything in the AC mount also need to be used, like anything under the compressor? Thanks!

    Need some aod/aode info

    My info has it that 92-up Mustangs have the AOD/E. You can easily tell - does the throttle arm at the throttle body have 2 or 3 cables to it? Two would be the footfeed cable and the cruise, the third would be the throttle valve for the hydraulically controlled AOD. The AOD/E, being...

    Pedistal rockers and shims

    http://www.lincolnsonline.com/article78.html I put Ebrocks on a 351 and found out that Ford even makes the right length pushrods for that application! That was with pedestal rockers. You could probly look up the part # on the Ford Racing internet catalogue.

    Vibration Problems w/Flex Plate or trans, 351

    Installed a 95 351W Lightning in place of an HO 302 in front of an AOD. Front pump went out right away. Finally found out flexplate that came with 351 although it bolted right up incl the converter, positioned the converter 1/4" back further which caused the pump to go out. Was out...

    Caution when going 351 & AOD!

    Last October I finally put in my warmed up 351 Lightning w/Ebrock heads and other assorted goodies, still fairly mild but WAY big improvement over the stock 302! Anyway, the shortblock came with a flexplate. It was the same teeth, the converter bolted up fine, etc. Long story short...

    It's finally alive, also question about a ticking sound

    I had a similar deal when I first started my "new" 351 (on the cheap, all low miles used parts) with 1.72 roller rockers / pedestals. I'd done the lifter preload very carefully, but when I first started it it sure sounded like the lifters on the pass side bank were clattering. Ultimately...
