Several years ago I read an article in MM&FF of someone installing a GM
700-R4 in a fox bodied Mustang. Does anyone remember the provider of the
adapter plate for this conversion or have a copy of the article? As I
recall this swap was supposedly a step up from using the AOD or a C4 because
of a wider ratio of the transmission gears (4 speed with OD as opposed to 3
speed with or without OD) and still having an overdrive.

Anyway....I'm looking for an alternative to my AOD. Of course installing a
T-5 would be ideal.

or just get a properly built C4/AOD. There are a few good companies
that do performance AOD solutions with custom gearsets (names escape me
right now).

Lenco for the AOD would be way better than any 700R4.
