Well the AOD is a direct bolt on, but the length and tail shaft might be longer...
Although you switched to a carb, the heads were probably designed for FI, might be one of your problems.
I bolted a 4R70W to my Cleveland. bad thing you need a computer.. the AOD does not need one.
The input shaft on the AOD can be a little weak if your thinking of "speed" they do make a solid one, but then
you loose some of the advantages of the AOD
Not much else I can say...
