Since AOD has in integral bell, it isn't quite so simple. You can get a $450 (non SFI) or $750 (SFI) kit to modify your AOD cases for a 4.6 or 460 though....
You can also get a electronic delete valve body for a AODE/4R70W
So that basically takes a 4R70W and makes it work like an old AOD? Interesting...wouldn't that maybe be a cheaper route to go for a WR-AOD?

I want to see that intake adapter in action!....And I would skip the AOD altogether and swap in a 5speed T5 or a TKO I bet it could be cheaper too in the long run.
There is also a place in Deleware called The Detail Zone that specializes in mod motor wiring harnesses for these kinds of swaps. Unforunately I am committed to making the older 1st gen. Lightning motor work in the CV. Otherwise, I would seriously think about making a 5.4L mod motor and trans from a Lincoln Navigator work in the 86 CV.

A carbed modular engine? I'll keep my pushrods if I'm going to have a carbed engine.
Lets not take a step back in technology here folks. Besides, the OHC engines don't make any power (well not muich over 400) without the use of a power adder (ie: turbo, supercharger). Lord knows a carb isn't the best setup for a power adder such as a S/C or a turbo.

Dude..... 32V OHC heads are a giant leap in technology over NoPo/HO/GT40 5.slow heads.....
The 4V Mod motors have more power potential than any factory pushrod engine without going inside the motor. Mod motors love RPMs. Older Cobra Motors have aluminum blocks.... There is no huge weight penalty over a 5.0. Don't forget that N2O is a power adder. Nitrous and carbs for teh win.....
If for no other reason, imagine how that motor would look... The looks of a Boss or SOHC for a fraction of the price....
If you wish to stay FI, then bolt on a Victor Jr or Victor carb intake with a throttle body elbow and stick injectors in it. You could still put a blower or nitrous plate on there.
These adapters merely open up a whole world of additional induction choices...
Just a few years back, you were stuck with factory or custom fabricated sheetmetal intakes....
