I have a rebuilt AOD in my garage. I have the stock converter, flywheel, cables, shifter, etc... Everything that I need to swap it into my car is there. The thing is, the trans is 1991 vintage, and completely stock.

I was thinking of putting in a good shift kit (trans-go?), and a loose converter (around 3000 RPM), and a good cooler, and calling it a day.

I know I could really bulletproof it, but I don't want to sink a ton of money in it. I might not like it, and switch back to a stick.

My car is also pretty light. (2750 lbs without me) so there will not be as much strain on the trans as there would be pushing a 3500 pound car down the track.

The next question is on rear gears. I have 3.73's with a 28" tire now, but was thinking of swapping in 4.30's.

Any opinions?
