Ford AOD Transmission Swap in my 1968 Torino!! Part 1 

Man that Torino is clean, Omar. The AOD will be a great upgrade.

Good tips. I laughed at every one of your "ooohs" at the beginning. And for me, adjusting external linkages might be slightly intimidating. But besides changing a filter, any time I have to take off the pan to put tools on the inside, I'm major intimidated! LOL

Nice to see another video, Omar. Nice Job. Man, that under carriage is really clean.

Great stuff , Omar. Thx for showing the part numbers . See you on the next one.

It's funny that you have a "Bob Mercury." Around here, we have a "Mustang Bob."

way to go Omar, good job!

I just happened to stumble onto your video, Great stuff! I guess it would be the same swap for my 68 Montego. Thanks!

Cool deal. I did the same type of swap of my 69 F100. It was really an easy swap.😁

Suggestion next time put floor jacks or a jack under the rearend to ride height then measure your driveshaft length but looks hood I’m doing the same on a 71 mustang Mach 1

Uh...you may need the rear chunk out of the other car because it has h higher gear for overdrive..just a thought..see you on the next one cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😊

Nice work!

Great video. Also enjoyed the Haggerty Tom Cotter video you were in. Question about that T5 - does the yard not care about cutting the drive shaft? Seems to me that is one less part they can sell, but I guess that is the nature of the place.....

Be aware: short-stroke carbureted engines lose efficiency and mileage in around-town driving if the final gear ratio is under 2:80. So, if your present gearset is a 3.25, your final drive with the AOD is going to be 2.16. You will be hating life. I've seen numerous people make this mistake over the last 30 years. Unless this is a highway-only car, it's going to bog in 4th. If your Tor has an 8-inch, I suggest a 4.11 or 4.62 rear gear, which will put final at 2.74 or 3.08, respectively. This avoids the bog and makes off-the-line acceleration much snappier. I'm doing this trans swap into a car with a 9-inch using 4.86 gears for a final of 3.24.

I put a lokar linkage kit on my F100 with a 4r70w. Good kit but using the stock column shift I had to get creative with the linkage bend

Best wishes, Omar. I appreciate your 60’s Ford focus and lack of profanity.
