    Has anyone here swapped in a 5.0 HO Engine with an AOD transmission into their Maverick/Comet?

    I am in the process of completing my swap, although I elected to stay with the C4. This swap presents several challenges that are unique to the Maverick & differ from the Mustang swap. These challenges are easily over come with a little thought process. It's just very time consuming. I did everything myself, except I did buy the EFI Harness conversion. I started on this project in September & it is very close to completion. I have a full time job, so I could only work on this project on weekends. To complicate the time issue, I also rebuilt the frontend, moved the column shift to a floor shift(that's not as easy as it sounds), installed mechanical guages(that actually simplifies the EFI swap) & installed a full stereo system.
