ArdWrknTrk Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 John - Would you like to be on our map in Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho? You can see the map on the page at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu. I wanted to move to Pokie 35 years ago.. Before the mass migration. Craters of the moon is surreal. The whole state of Idaho is BEAUTIFUL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old 1 Ton Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 welcome. im very interested in the 429/aod combo. I build aods regularly and have modified some too. four of my current trucks have them and I have seen a few of their shortcomings over the years. how much torque are you asking it to take? and what mods have been done? Hi Mat, The AOD I have is from Monster Transmission, Part # MG4-AOD. This is the link to the Trans https://www.monstertransmission.com/AOD-Heavy-Duty-Performance-Transmission-4x4-with-Free-Transmission-Fluid_p_5082.html I know nothing about AOD transmissions except for what books and information I have researched. A better trans might have been the E4OD, but the AOD is lighter (remember I'm getting weaker @70years), no computer and a slimmer & shorter fit. My drag racing days are over. I am trying to get better MPG now. The 429 had 480 ft. tq. so said the factory in 1971. I wanted to use its original DOVE-C heads but got talked out of them for Aluminum no name jobs (I kept my DOVE heads). Cam is now a HYD Roller Bullet 279/285-12HR ... Dur 223/228 & Lift 588/592 with LSA 112. Intake is WEIAND STEALTH... https://www.429-460.com/t2627-bbf-intake-shootout It will be the same set-up as 429CJ with Q-jet carb and Ram Air/Cold Air induction. My 429 was run on an engine stand, but not on a DYNO so your guess as to Torque will be much better than mine. Thank you so much for the interest in my Old Truck. Ever notice how people like to talk about their stuff … so thank you! I like advice, (because it’s free 😊) so don’t hesitate in giving it.

John in stock form the e40d might have been a better choice but I'm sure the choice you made should do well. I diagnosed (full disassemble) one of my own aod's today. I found a couple weaknesses and will be headed to the parts wholesaler in the morning. a couple bits to restock. a bit disappointing how I, hobbyist, stock more than all of the parts stores around me. follow every bit of the setup instructions from monster. use a gauge in the tv port to set the tv pressure. this gets more important the more torque you put to it.
