I used the Benstein adaptor to mount an AOD to my Yblock in a 56 F-100. The stock truck had a manual transmission mounted to the stock transmission at the manual bell housing location. AOD has nowhere I can see to make a mount other than the tail shaft. I have the AOD mounted with a fabricated transmission at the rear of the tail shaft and the engine mounted in the middle under the crank pully center of engine to front cross member. Way too much rocking back and forth. I have discussed this before and actually purchased the mid block side mount "stabilizers" used on some Tbirds, but I think I want something more. If I get away from the front mount, I may be able to lower the engine enough to get a little more clearance where the back of the AOD almost touches the floor boards. Id rather not alter the cab floor and Id rather not remove the stock main cross member between the frame rails. Has anyone done this and fabricated their own side motor mounts and not had to remove the main cross member and get enough clearance so floor does not have to be modified? Im hooking AOD to a 9" Ford rear end.
