1965 to 1973 Mustang Conversion Kit
Convert your Mustang with a 289 / 302 / 351W / 351C motor from a 3 speed C4 or C6 transmission to an AOD overdrive transmission. You get the Dominator Junior transmission and torque converter rated at 550 horse power, custom AOD crossmember, Lokar throttle valve cable, speedometer gear based on tire height and gear ratio, AOD flywheel and a locking top dip stick. The performance model comes with your choice of a free T-shirt or auxiliary fluid cooler. The freight will run from free to $140.00 after freight discount in most cases on the performance model. This will produce up to a 40% increase in gas mileage and a 33% reduction in motor speed. Level 2 Cost $2329.00. Same package with a stock transmission and converter, level 1 Cost $1599.00. When ordering we need your motor size, motor year and horse power plus the car year, tire height and rear end ratio. You may also need the #89X shift lever kit and Holley or Edelbrock carburetor adapter. You may want to consider the mechanical diode kit for full throttle 1-2 up-shifts above 5000 RPM (fits 1991 - 1993 AOD transmissions only). The $4.00 per gallon gas will feel like $2.80 per gallon gas with an overdrive conversion.

#89X. AOD bracket and shift lever kit. Cost $58.00. The small hole in this shift lever can be drilled out to 17/32 of an inch to accept the grommet for stock shift linkage. This lever has a 1-15/16 inch radius. |

#89. AOD, Lokar braided stainless steel throttle valve cable kit. Cost $76.00
|
|
Notice the Holley adapter on the carburetor and the helper return spring on the throttle valve lever. Press F11 for a better view. On a stock AOD the correct pressure adjustment usually is minimum throttle valve cable pull at minimum throttle opening (idle) and on an AOD with a Shift Kit installed the correct setting usually is full cable pull at full throttle. |

|
|
#8LB. Stainless bracket mounts to rear of Holley, Edelbrock, AFB, Quadrajet, Demon, and In-Line Dual Quads. Stainless bracket and GM designed dual stainless springs are used to mount Lokars Throttle Cable and Kickdown assemblies. Design provides improved clearance on Edelbrock carburetors. Design includes tension screw to prevent bracket from movement under extreme pressure on a kickdown cable, such as with a 700-R4 transmission. Cost $33.00 |
Tech Note: #8LB mounts Lokar Throttle Cables and Kickdowns for a nice clean setup. Be sure when installing your Spring Return Kit and Throttle Cable that your throttle pedal bottoms out at full throttle to prevent undue stress on the throttle shaft and other components. |
#29. AOD adapter for a Holley carburetor to install the throttle valve cable correctly. Usually this part will correct a hard light throttle 1-2 shift. With this kit getting the correct geometry is easy. Cost $33.00. Adapter for the Edelbrock carburetor $35.00. If you have an AOD transmission and one of these two carburetors you need this part.

We have 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 tooth gears. Cost $13.00 #82X. 23 tooth Ford speedometer driven gears. For use with 4.10 gears with 7 tooth shafts in automatic transmissions. Cost $20.00 |

#K65M. You get the AOD to early Mustang crossmember, Lokar throttle valve cable, correct speedometer driven gear, correct flywheel, dip stick, shift lever kit, carburetor adapter for Holley or Edelbrock, transmission mount, block plate, inspection plate and four torque converter nuts. Cost $559.00
You can add to or remove from this kit as needed. An AOD with a 10 1/4" tail housing is only 1/4" longer than an early Mustang C4 therefore you should be able to reuse your old driveshaft and yoke. We need to know your motor size and year, year of car, carburetor brand, tire height, rear end ratio and the number of teeth on your speedometer drive gear located on the output shaft. The only upgrades to this kit would be a SFI flexplate, cast aluminum pan, speedometer housing parts, wiring harness and oil. The $4.00 per gallon gas will feel like $2.80 per gallon gas with an overdrive conversion.

| Comments | It's now possible to install a Ford AOD overdrive transmission on a Ford FE 390 motor, ask. Transmission ratings are for non-supercharged systems using pump gasoline. Superchargers, Nitrous, 4WD, Oversize Tires and Weight will change these ratings. Home delivery without lift gate $75.00 extra (2 people), home delivery with lift gate $150.00 extra (1 person). The freight will be much less if the transmission is delivered to a business or freight depot. | |||
