remember the 4.6 uses a different bellhousing bolt pattern than the windsors, so a tranny out of a windsor, like the one someone above was trying to give you wouldnt work. the AOD doesnt use a vacuum line, and the AODE id electronically controlled, and considered a better tranny than the AOD, as it has a lot of improvements over the AOD.
i would reconsider. Go to
www.baumannengineering.com and see what all you can do that AODE. You can make them perform great. Get the baumannator TCS, shift kit, converter...etc...and youll be smoking 5 speeds, in comfort.
Unless you really want a manual, are you sure you want to do a tranny swap on a 4 year old car?
