AOD to C4... What do I need??????

Make sure you know what you want. If you want a lot of clearance you should get the small bellhousing C-4. With the small bell C-4 you will need a 157 tooth flexplate (50 oz). B&M makes flexplates with both 10 1/2 and 11 7/16 with 157 teeth and a 50 oz imbalance and so does TCI. Make sure that when you get a converter you know what bolt spacing you have for the converter studs (there is 9 something ", a 10.5 ", and an 11 7/16). For the small bellhousing you can use a T-5 shim plate (goes in between motor and bellhousing).

If you use the big bell C-4 you can use the AOD flexplate, but make sure the converter you buy has the 11 7/16 bolt spacing. Other than that everything works (drive shaft, cross-member, etc).

You will need a different shifter though. My buddy actually used the B&M Pro Ratchet shifter for AOD/C-4 for a Mustang.

Hope I helped
