AOD in a 64 falcon
I'm looking to replace my C4 with a AOD from a previous mustang I owned. What kind of installation issues will I be looking at? Not gonna assume this is gonna be just a straight swap.....that'd be too easy, right?
Any help will be much appreciated.

You didn't mention the engine you have in your Falcon. The issues I see are the bell housing likely won't match, the drive shaft length would be different, a C4 is vacuum controlled with a modulator, the AOD has a TV linkage meaning also a carb change, gear shift linkage is different, the mount is different, new cooler lines needed and I am sure I missed some things.Depending on your rear end ratio, having overdrive could make your Falcon a bogging dog.
Both are good solid transmissions. To me, I don't see any gain by changing transmissions and the change if possible will hurt the value and performance of your Falcon.

Having once owned a 64 Falcon , was one of the best vehicles ever owned.
It never failed to start and had beautiful steering without power assist.
It did have one drawback, and that was the in line six had problems with compression blowing out the old road draft tube.
Back then I added a can of "Motor honey" and all that did was to hang curtains inside the engine that I saw after dropping the oil pan. Never use that so called sure cure !!
It was an overall good vehicle just as it was. Well built and reliable.
