Pics are easier the believe than stories. We've heard plenty. Just borrow a camera, you said you could. Just that hard man. I really am interested in how it all looks, I just said I "DOUBTED IT" never called you a liar. Hey, if you actually got a 460 swap done in 2 months and got it sorted out great I'm happy for you but this is pretty useless unless we get to see what you're talking about. Don't you agree?

Well lets get some pics before you pull it. Curious to how you got the AOD to work on a carbed motor also, as far as the linkage goes.

Magic? I predict the pictures never show and if they do it won't even be the same car.

Just so you know i'm not here to be yanking you guy's around. It started out as just posting my pics and what i've done so far. If you look knowone really cared until 86XR7project started in on me yanking you guys around and it being fishy (Do u really have nothing better to do then google members and think you know exactly what your talking about when you don't even know me? I also don't see why you think that droping in a big block is a lot of progress for it being two months since i put that on the site. So if thats a lot of progress I wonder how long it takes you to do a brake job or an oil change?). It was never meant to turn out like this so you can believe me or not.


He may have said it, but we all thought it man. First off, 50 bucks? Thats kinda hard to beleive, its hard to beleive you could get any car that wasn't a rusted peice of  (like mine-$650), but as you said you could've been at the right place at the right time, who knows? And then there is the whole 460 and AOD thing......nobody is calling you a liar, and just because 86XR7Project called you on it, dosen't mean he is the only one who thinks that, no reason for insults bro. But you can see the logic, right? No pics, work that you really don't ever see done.....Just post some pics and we will all shut the hell up. Plus it would be badass to see;)

I would just like to see pics of a aod behind a 460. That'll last about 2 1/2 seconds behind a bb. Considering a stock 3.8 with 120hp and no torque kills them

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I wasn't saying it can't be done. If you read his post, he says that he wants to get a built AOD, which in my mind, would mean he is using the stock one off of the 3.8 that he had in it.

Agreed.  The facepalm wasn't directed at you BTW ;)

Well I am fine with looking like the a**hole for just stating what we were all thinking. Life goes on.
