92 crown vic AOD doner?

[prpony]

Can anyone tell me where I can look to see if i can use an AOD from a 92 crown victoria for my 65 fastback. I know many AOD's from '87 to '93 work as long as it not an electronic transmission. The transmission is mounted on my uncles car which he gave to me.

Where do I look too see if it is an electronic?

According to this article, it looks like the 92 AOD will work.

If I ain't mistaken, the 92 Vics had Mod motors and if so, the AOD in it won't bolt up to a small block.

I don't think the Vic had the Mod motor just yet..

And the AOD in the '92 is not an AODE (electric), Those I *think* started when the 4.6L came into play.

pretty sure the 92 vic was a mod motor car. the mod motors started in 90 or 91 i think in the big fords, crown vic, town car, etc.

The 92 Vics had a 4.6 with an SBF bolt pattern and a regular AOD. My uncle has owned 2-3 of them and blew an AOD at 210k on one.

The Mod bell pattern looks like a small block pattern, but believe me, it's not.

Not according to Sean Hyland. He sez the 91-92 4.6s use the SBF pattern, and I believe it, for one the starter is the same as the 93-95 5.0GT piece.

It'd be a new one on me then. Strange that Ford would change it, unless they sought to head off easy pushrod swaps into Mod motor cars.

I am going ahead and pull the transmission from the Vic over the weekend. The article sent by gbarber will help me determine what it is.

I will post the results.

The Mod motor AOD I had awhile back had a three bolt starter, looked similar to the old FE big block pattern, but used smaller bolts.

As Promised; I got out of work early and made my way over to pull the transmission from the Crown. Great news!! it is an AOD!!! According to the article posted by "gbarber" which I copied pasted here:

The AOD transmission can be identified in several ways. Its prominent 14-bolt pan is probably the easiest way. The pan is basically square but the back two corners are tucked in a little tighter than the front corners making the pan look like home plate with the front point cut off. Many of the original pans also have Automatic Overdrive and Metric and the Ford oval logo stamped into them. The metric is sort of a misnomer because the internal parts are mainly metric, but not the hardware to install the transmission. Another way to identify the transmission is by the driver's door tag. Ford lists their transmission codes on their Vehicle Certification Label and these are a single letter located along the bottom of the label under the abbreviation TR or TRANS. The AOD transmissions will carry a "T" designation for any rear-wheel drive vehicles. Lastly, you can also check the tag attached to the transmission itself. This is located on the driver's side on the lower bolt that attaches the tailshaft to the transmission body. This tag contains many numbers; however, the first three-letter code on the top of the tag will say PKA (later AOD-E units with electric overdrives are designated as PKC). The AOD used two tail-shaft lengths; a shorter one for passenger cars had an E0AP casting, and the shorter truck castings read F2TP. The longer tail shafts had an E0LP casting on the passenger cars and an E0TP on pickups.

It has all the characteristics mentioned above. I am all ready for the install. My Uncle says the transmission was in perfect working order. Should I put in a newvalve body or should I just change oil and filter and install?

i would change the screen, add a quart of lucas auto trans conditioner to the new fluid, and run it... MAKE SURE the tv cable (or lever, i think most of the later aod's were cable) is properly adjusted, if not you will smoke your new tranny in short order. you may need to either buy, or fabricate a throttle linkage adapter to make the tv work right with your particular carb...(i think the tv needs to mount, like 1 1/8 inch directly below the throttle shaft)

I had already purchased a LOKAR kickdown cable kit (kd-2aodht) for the swap. Will this be good or do I need to use the TV cable from the VIC?
