 Corbin, thanks for the response. Did you have to modify your 88-400's in order for the collector to dump at the proper angle near the firewall? I was told this may be necessary.

The only modification I had to make for the AOD was that I had to have a trans crossmember/mount fabricated because the trans is a little longer. I can send you pics if your interested. Things would be a lot easier for you since you have the shorties in there already. drop me a line at my e-mail address if you want to see pics.

Thanks again

Hi,
I recently put Hedman #88-400 headers on my Maverick. They are the shortys designed for Mustangs, etc, but they work just fine on Mavericks. I don't have an AOD, but in the March 2001 issue of Mustang & Fords, they installed these same headers on a 65 Mustang with an AOD. These fit nicely with the transmission. They meantioned that it was nice not to have column linkage to mess with. Maybe this is a hint... Anyway, hope this helps. How much did you have to change on the Maverick to get the AOD to fit? Did you change the tunnel, etc..? I am interested for a possible future swap. Thanks.
-Corbin
