AOD to T5 Conversion question

93GTDIN · 11-05-2001, 12:43 AM

I am really trying to shop aruond on this one. There is a guy in my town that will do the swap for 2400 including a T5 world class, billet steel flywheel and some other goodies. I've seen a kit on www.stangparts.com that is 1700 but it doesnt seem like it comes with the transmission! Does anybody know anywhere else besides www.stangparts.com that offers a AOD - T5 conversion kit?

Also, would a tremec be worth the extra cash on a stock car with future mods planned?

Well, I couldn't tell you where to find a conversion kit other than stangparts. But I can tell you that i put in 4.10 gears in my rearend and the aod was ruined within 10 miles so i converted to a t-5. Then the t-5 broke within about 4 or 5 months of hard driving. So i swapped in a tremec tko because i was tired of breaking transmissions. My only advice would be to go for a tremec right away. I sure wish i would have because i was spending everything to do the swap in the frist place and it wouldn't have been a whole lot more to go for a tremec. But of course i'm also running a vortech s trim, edelbrock 6032 heads, cobra intake, b303 cam and lots of other stuff on the engine. But i would recommend going for a tremec, i sure wish i would have.
