This a fairly common swap on early Mustangs (that and T-5s).
Somebody probably has a bolt in Kit that would have a flexplate. You could also (if need be) have your current flexplate drilled for the AOD converter I'd think.
Here's my next question.
At what RPM range does a small block ford get it's best gas mileage? I'm wandering so that I can figure out what gear & tire to use!
