Re: engine mount question Reply #1 – June 23, 2005, 07:56:57 AM Not sure about an '82, but the '83-'85 Cougs/Birds use the same motor mounts as the Mustang.Only Birds to get a 8.8" from the factory was the '87-'88 Turbo Coupes.. Quote Selected

From the Baumann transmission web site....The Automatic Overdrive (AOD) transmission was introduced in 1980 as Ford's first four-speed automatic overdrive transmission (a.k.a. AOT or FIOD in some literature). Internals are loosely based on the FMX. The AOD was finally replaced by the AOD-E/4R70W in 1994 for all remaining applications. Quote Selected

Re: engine mount question Reply #6 – June 23, 2005, 11:37:45 PM so the fiod would be just as good as the aod and all parts interchangable if i understand correctly? its just another name for same transmission? just want to get my info correct Thanks for the help i really appreciate it Quote Selected
Re: engine mount question Reply #7 – June 23, 2005, 11:51:19 PM When I bought a remanufactured AOD, the box it came in was labeled FIOD, so all it is is another name, same part. Quote Selected
