Hey there im planning on swapping my cracked 302, to my windsor 351 with AFR heads, forged pistons, huge cam f-303 if i remember correctly. Made about 365 horse to the wheels on the last owners mustang with a manual tranny. I was wondering if my car will have trouble idling because its an automatic? Because i know AOD's take up alot of vacuum, i was wondering if there is any other way to keep it from idling like crap other than changing my cam shaft??? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

C4's & C6's work off vacuum. AOD works off the TV pressure. Your idle will be fine with any of those choices as long as your converter is set up right for your combination.
