There’s on and off questions about an AOD behind a Yblock in place of a Fordomatic. This thread on the HAMB is the most complete I’ve seen. It’s a 54, but it’s thorough, even shows the new column shift plate and a bit on swapping in a modern rear end. Worth reading if that’s on your list of...

Questions on overdrives come up here frequently. This article was linked on another site and I found it informative mainly on the uses and history of the BW units in general. I’m not sure it’s all correct, but it’s pretty good. So I’m posting the link here for those who might be able to use...
