Does anyone know of a source for a reasonably priced crossmember to bring 67 and an AOD together?

I guess it depends on your view of "reasonably priced", but NPD or Windsor-Fox are good sources (as well as most Mustang parts suppliers). I think you can generally expect it to cost around $130.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if this is what you mean by reasonably priced, but they have them here....

since the AOD is the same size as a C6. I suggest getting a junker C6 crossmember and using it, might take a little modification, but much cheaper

As alternative, you can make your own crossmember as we did. It just took some measuring, some drawing, some plumber's strap, and an hour to make a mockup model. Then we took it to a welder who welded one up for us for $35. The right price for sure.

I never tried, but I'm pretty sure that a C6 crossmember will take quite a bit of modification. The AOD was only 3/4" longer than my original FMX (which the AOD is based on), but the location for the mount was 3"-4" different.

I just finished a 69 aod conversion with a 302. I did not want to make major exhaust changes, so I too made my crossmember. The Windsor unit would have required different exhaust pipes, so I made one. I wanted to keep my exhaust standard for now. All it took to make the cossmember was several pieces of angle iron all bolted together.
