[QUOTE="Totalled, post: 1483226, member: 16125"] You don't even need to do that. Find a C5 from a 2.8L 83 ranger, or 84 Ranger/BII. 85 was the first year of the A4LD. It will already accept the stock 1350/1354 cases. Swap the C5 valve body out for one from a V8 C4, along with the intermediate servo, and you're good to go with most 302s... I wouldn't worry about upgrading the trans unless you put a real healthy motor in front of it. You'll also need a V8 bell housing from a V8 case fill C4.
