    I didn't have any fitment issues with the AOD in a 74, but the tunnel is a bit larger, or so I've been told.

    Lokar makes a good TV cable, just set it right.

    The places where the AOD contacts the trans tunnel bracing are right at the bolts on the top back where the tail shaft mounts. Grinding away the brace is the only option unless you want to cut out the tunnel and fabricate your own, larger tunnel.

    AOD FIT into 71-77

    So does the AOD fit without modifications in a 71-77 tunnel and still keep the same tailshaft angle ? Has anyone done this swap with long tube headers and a stock Floor Shifter setup ?
