Converting too a AOD?

You can use your stock shifter with a kit from CJ pony that includes kickdown cable, New c4 tranny mount, shift linkage for your stock shifterand new slip yoke for around $320. Your drive shaft needs to be shortened about 1" too.

The drive shaft does not necessiarly have to be shortened. The C-4 yoke can be shortened about 1 5/8 in, or use the AOD yoke. Which is approximately the same as a shortened C-4 yoke. The C-4 yoke has a deeper throat and the splines dont start untill almost 3 in down the throat. So trimming excess length doesnt cause any mechanical differences. NPD sells a yoke that is intended for this purpose, I couldent tell any major differences between it and a regular AOD yoke.... Of course take meaurements to assure your particular installation.
I used my stock shifter with a home made shift rod. (two heim joints & bend a rod to fit) The throw of the shifter need to be adjusted, shifter to rod connection is higher up than stock location.
If your going EFI there are no nonstock engine/trans connections that need to be changed.
I used a windsor-fox trans mount w/poly isolator.
Good opportunity to upgrade to a crossflow radiator, & new trans cooling lines.

No. You need a C4 mount and a special cross member made by Mustangs + or CJ Pony parts for AOD swap
