When I mocked my EFI 5.0l up, I had the AOD on the assembly and realized that it would be hell to get the pan off or to get the trans out for service or to run the exhaust without burning everything. I'm not saying to ax the AOD, but I put a T5 in for this very reason.(and because I much rather bang gears!) OK, so maybe that was just my excuse to justify to my wife the reason I dumped about $500 more into the "budget" project.
ok got them in thanks to u guys and my wife lol she came out and got her hands dirty thanks everbody for your help
