A OD isn't a 6spd without a LOT of button pushing

You put it in first,
then turn on the OD;
You turn off the OD,
and put it in second;
you turn on the OD;
then you put it in....

In real life, you run with the OD on all the time or just turn it on after 3rd runs out for a 4th speed.

As for why? Why not just put a Windsor in front of that AOD? Wouldn't THAT be easier, and cheaper?

For the uniqueness, for the challenge, for the glory.

Personally, I'm looking at some sort of OD behind my FE. I'm interested in what he did, his experience. My own personal experience from doing what I thought was a simple transplant of a '70 302/C-4 combo into a '68 Torino that had had a 289/C-4 in it, is that making linkages work is the most critical goal of putting in a transmission. It was years before that 'simple' change was sorted out. Putting an AOD in a car that never saw such a thing in original life quite frankly scares me, and I'd probably lean towards the GV OD just because I can keep my original trans with its original/working linkages.

Just my thoughts.
