You could always revert to a C4. Bullet proof, needs no electronics, just sayin

4R70W IMO is much better than the C4 but is an electronic transmission and will need a controller if you don't use the expo ECU or the aftermarket electro-magic box linked in the thread.
The C4 you put in, hook up one vacuum line and 2 cooler lines bazinga, it works. Unless you boost, then you need some vacuum magic.
C4 is plenty enough trans to handle your 5.0 and is no fuss.
I used a C4 when I did a 5.0L Swap in the '88 STX but I always wanted the OD, so enter the AOD, not the "e" though.
I did a one time think a C4 with a OD Unit added might be good but then there are too many thing in line.
I waiting to here back from TCI, hoping they sell a Street Fighter AOD for a 4WD, time will tell.
I am not sure what is needed to install a pre-'93 AOD but I'm thinking a lot less than the newer electronic units.
Tomorrow will bring a few ansers, who will be doing the frame/body/engine setup and then the SHOCKS !
Thx all for input / Ltr
