i dont see why not the exhaust flange is usually the lowest part on the car but someone will chime in that has bolth in ther car
You may have to do some shaping of the headers but you can make them fit. You may not find a good fit because the AOD was never used by the factory in your car.
It has to do with the width of the tranny. Generally speaking, since the SBF is such a narrow engine and usually only has a narrow C4 or manual tranny behind it, the collectors are relatively close to each other. Most SBF headers won't work with a wider tranny, like a C6 swapped behind the engine. Same is most likely true for an AOD, but I don't know for sure. You can heat the metal of the collectors and bend them wider, but the extra heat weakens the metal. When I did it for a C6 swap, my collectors were full of cracks within a year. The proper way to do it would be to cut and reweld the headers with new primary bends at the collectors. Edit: Another way to do it: Get some wide header flanges and long header bolts, along with 2 sets of gaskets. The flanges have to be thick though. I have seen it done to clear C6 swaps. Put a gasket, the blank flange, another gasket, and then the header. IIRC, it has to be at least a 3/8" thick flange... This spreads the collectors apart from each other just that tiny bit needed to clear a wider tranny. Although, I must say that I have never seen this done on a Maverick/Comet! 6901s have more room in just about any other engine bay, and the cars I have seen this trick done on were Stangs/Torinos. 3/8" is probably okay in a Mav too, but I thought I'd throw that out.
