chepsk8 did this very swap a few years ago so you might pm him about the swap. with 4:11 gears i would definitely go with the AOD swap. as long as the AOD comes from a 5.0 powered car you can use the transmission. you will need a flexplate with the proper 28oz balance factor. summit racing has them at a reasonable price. you must also properly hook up the throttle valve cable or you will burn up the trans in short order. lokar has the cable you need.
