AOD is SBF trans, bolts to 5.0, 351, 300 I6
4r75w is a predecessor of the 4r70w but never had a SBF bellhousing.......
some of the 4r75w parts are finding their way into 4r70w builds to make some nice upgraded custom units
from wiki:
[font="Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif]4R75W[edit]
In 2003 Ford revised the 4R70W transmission with a stronger ring gear that had 24 lugs, as opposed to 6, for the output shaft sensor (OSS) to read off of, a new torque converter, a revised front pump assembly, and a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) that complements the OSS to improve shift quality and efficiency. These improvements allowed the 4R75W to handle more power while being more efficient and economical. While not used on all 2003 model year vehicles, the 4R75W/E transmissions eventually replaced the 4R70W/E.
Any AOD, AODE or 4R70W can be built to handle big HP, they are all the same/similar case transmissions found behind the small block v8 engines (and some straight sixes)
Most people choose the 4r70w for their resto mod projects these days
Part of the reason I use explorer drivetrains as the donor for my builds, is the trans controls are built into the factory PCM = cheap, one and done
The computer controls are the way to go! Smoooth like butter
