Why not have ur AOD rebuilt beefer?
It can very well be done, and also get a high stall convertor and shift kit and you will love your newly rebuilt AOD.Also, are you against a c-4 auto?

All my crevices are greased.
A c4 limits you off the highway if you also have any decent gears. 1:1 ratio winds up real fast without overdrive.
Build one yourself. It's _easy_. In fact, the hardest part of all will simply be carrying the 200+ pound transmission to the shop. $800-900 in parts will build you a fresh rebuilt, hardened shaft-ed, a+ servo'ed, kevlar banded, transgo shift kitted, 3K stalled AOD. The rebuild is basically taking snaprings out with a screwdriver and unstacking things. Then you slide some clutches in and stack it back up. It's really that easy. Damn thing just weighs a ton. People hate AOD's so you can get a nice core for _pennies_. I got mine for $100 from an 1986 grand marquis v6. Just be careful cause some of the v6 ones have a b servo and 1 less direct drive drum and the lincoln aod's wont fit.
Have fun with it. You'll learn stuff and save money and gain bragging rights.

I'm with what he said. But I'd probably go with 3500 stall convertor with your 4.10's. A friend had a B&M Tork Master that was rated 3500 rpm stall and it worked just like an automatic was supposed to. It worked awesome!Lentech
I talked with a tech at Lentech today. The price on the AOD isn't bad,
it's the shipping, almost $300. Then, another $450 to upgrade the valve
body for the OD delete, override. I just wonder if the valve body upgrade
is worth it. It only gives me the OD override option, that's $450 I can spend
on something else.
Any thoughts????
