Hi Steve
I confirmed today that the gen1 4.6L trans bolt pattern is the same as the old 5.0. I've heard too many stories from jackasses that it's not the same pattern. Those stories are proven to be false. I guess those people are so smart they forgot about the early years of these motors, or something? Any way I was looking around my storage barn and found two more good AOD trans's and a possible fourth still in a car condition un known. That's great news since I could use either one of those four in this car I am working on. It was great to stumble across those extra transmissions that I forgot I had set back. Back when scrap prices were high. I sold a bunch of good trans's to my core guy, and hauled off a truck load of good ones that he didn't want for scrap. It's a good thing I didn't load up those Lincoln AOD's.
