1965 Fastback AOD Upgrade

out of business? Their website doesn't mention it. Several Mustang parts people sell the necessary parts you need. Gary in NC.

Do you have a carb on that engine? What rear gears?

Check with Mustangs Plus

They do a lot of this kind of stuff.

Hi Dominic, I once put an AOD in a '65 FB. See if you can get one with the cable inputs like in the '87 to '93 mustangs. I hooked up the TV (Throttle valve) cable using a home made adjustable bracket to an existing hole in an Edelbrock carb I was using. It had the perfect amount of throw. Its VERY critical to have the TV set up and adjusted properly. I also made a bracket to use the stock 87-93 mustang shifter cable with my exsiting auto shifter. You can get a transmission cross member from mail order shops like Mustangs Plus.

You also need the correct flexplate depending on the engine you intend to use. The later 5.0s have a 50oz. imbalance while the earlier small blocks have 28oz. If you put the wrong flexplate on, your teeth will rattle out and you'll smoke your engine quickly. You'll also have to have your driveshaft shortened. The '65 automatic speedo cable fits right in but you may have to experiment with speedo gears to get the right speedo/odmeter calibration. You also need to splice the AOD neutral-safety switch to the cars wiring (4 wires). let me know if you have any questions.
