In Reply to: The Maverick has a larger tunnel... posted by Charlie on May 24, 2000 at 12:08:07:
its gonna be TIGHT, but I don't really need to reach the top of the AOD like I can the C4 anyway...
: The 69.5 Mavericks used a smaller Falcon-style tunnel but the 70 and up Mavericks have a much larger tunnel and several people have done the swap, I haven't heard anyone say they had clearance problems. -CP

: : this subject made the rounds in the ford falcon circles. im not sure how it applies to the maverick, but could be the same.
: : it can be done, but the AOD is physically larger and cutting on or modification to the transmission tunnels had to be done to install in a falcon. from what i understand there are a few other quarks to making this adaptation. (namely shifter linkage, but i think there are several others) i will do some research and report my findings as time allows.
: : bear in mind, my info comes from the falcon community, but i doubt there is much difference.
