Is the lenttch valve body a constant pressure unit? Meaning is it meant to not have a TV cable? If its not you will need a TV cable setup. Otherwise you will need a 5.0 starter I think, the yoke that came with the transmission because I believe that's different from fmx, and I think the fmx flexplate works...or so I have read. Driveshaft...not sure. The AOD also is designed for a cable shifter I believe, not linkage like fmx.
If the aod has a solid input shaft, doesn't that make it a three speed effectively? My understanding is that they came with the two piece input shafts for the lockup converter... Why bother switching to the aod for zero extra gears? FMX's are bulletproof...I can't imagine what one would be like with a stall converter and some aftermarket goodies.

As promised here are a few photos of the Forever Sharp steering wheel I purchased. Love the horn design, and my only complaint is that it feels slightly thin in my hands. I will probably get a wrap for around the rim to thicken it up a bit. I like it.

I just purchased a wheel from forever sharp steering wheels, I will let you know how it is and take a few photos when it arrives.

I have a 351w with manual steering setup right now, and I am switching it over to borgeson soon because the steering effort is ridiculous. I have a 14" steering wheel, but my tires are inflated to near max psi and it is a bear. I am 6'4 so I'm not weak either. I have heard about the returning issue with borgeson setups, and it seems like some people have the issue and some don't. I know one thing, parking or driving in neighborhoods sucks right now...its that hard.

I have OPR roller track arms, which allowed for 1.5" shelby drop. 1" drop springs with 1 coil cut, and 4.5 reverse eye leafs. HOWEVER I cut the spring before realizing the perches were backwards, and now I am going to buy new springs and only cut 1/3 to 1/2 a coil. Bumpstop issues and sway bar issues have driven me insane, and because of how much I dropped the upper arm negative camber became an issue too. Not sure how different this is for those with only 1" upper arm drop, but my car is basically riding on the bumpstops right now so this setup officially sucks. Looks cool though, but it will be more level after I get new springs.
