    I found this wesite where they used the internals of a 4R70w in an AOD shell. Full auto with no computer plus a 2.84 first gear. Seemed cool. however, it was like $2900.00. I think Im just going to take the "get my aod rebuild by someone who knows whay their doing" route.

      Sounds like the standard "wide ratio swap" a few guys here have done themselves. That's an awful lot of money ... must've started with two brand-new transmissions!

        A wide ratio AOD is not some giant pricetag item, if done by someone who isn't out to rob you. There used to be a kit sold specifically to do this, but now you're left with either ordering the parts individually, or getting a donor 4R70w to rob hard parts from. Getting all the pieces individually could run the price way up though, but if you can get a decent donor tranny to rob, it gets much cheaper.

          Would obtain later model AOD (1990-91) and have that rebuilt instead if I were you.
