A Ford AOD automatic would work well.

It sat in a barn since 1961 and only has 25k miles, but those were farm miles and it is beat though not rusted out. Beautiful Rat Rod patina that will remain. The frame is boxed and cross braced, and holds a complete Jaguar XJ suspension front and back. I plan to run a spare Cleveland, actually a real Boss 351, and want an overdrive transmission. Manual or automatic, either one. It won’t be drag raced but will be used regularly and would likely be run in an open road race some time. That’s the reason for the overdrive. I’ve been out of this part of the game for a while and was wondering what would work well. What would bolt up and work. What would it come out of? Any info and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
