selash Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Has anyone done a 5.0L conversion using the ford AOD transmission? I have the Lane Family mounting system that is intended for the 3550 five speed. Just want a nice mild 302 with auto to cruise. If you have done the AOD, did you have to modify the trans tunnel? Any other thoughts on it? Looking forward to getting my 73 240z project going full swing this fall. Thanks!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibud Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I wish I could help a little more but I just bought a 73' with a 5.0 and AOD (I believe) . It fits I don't think the trans tunnel was modified mounts were custom. Wish I had the 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graezed Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I have just fitted one to my 260z with a 351 windsor. My car was originally a manual and I have room for my levers and connecting rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechboy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There was an AOD in the 72 I bought. No tunnel mods and the mount was flat bar stock with a cable mount from the stock Nissan shifter. I am selling the entire drive line in Parts if u want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
