Bainford Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Glad to see this one back on the bench. I always liked this kit, having built a couple back in the day. The original issue of the MPC fox Mustang. Yours is looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister 4x4 Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Thanks! Hopefully, I'll actually get it done sooner than later... my stash has been growing, and I'm falling way behind. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowridingmike Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Nice build however the 2.3l those years didn’t come with an AOD tranny. They came with a a4dl also in rangers and explorers. I’ve swapped quite a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I thought it was a C4 at the time, when I didn't know squat about cars in general - I really only learned about the AOD around 10 years ago when I stuffed one in my '71 Mach 1 to replace the roached FMX. A buddy of mine literally gave me the AOD from his '89 5.0 GT when he swapped in a T-5. I just looked a few things up and it looks like my '82 actually probably actually had a C3 (which in 1985 became the a4dl by adding OD)... and that makes sense, because I don't recall it having OD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C3_transmission Hey, regardless of whatever is was or should've been, I'm keeping the bonus points for swapping the automatic onto my 4-cylinder, just the same. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me any 1:1 owner would much rather have that aod so you’re absolutely right on that one!😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
