Sometimes you can get valve body's that they'll build and sell. We've been having a hard time getting older units though (i.e. AOD, TH350, etc.) so it may take a little luck.

I've learned rather quickly that if it says Sonnax on it, it's very high quality. Their kits and parts compared to Transgo and Superior are night and day.

I'm not seeing a zip kit for the a4ld but I'll see what sonnax products I can find for it. I've seen stuff from transgo but never pulled the trigger on any of it. I've always thought that anything deeper than a valve body is a little too daunting for me. Lol

Here's what comes in the zip kit:

And one of the valve body's. You need to identify which one you have though... Ford made some changes over the years.

I found a rebuildable 350/350 for the Camaro, ran when pulled. (Has the original 305)
Turns out I know the seller, and he mentioned he had a low mile 454 and trans from a 93 SS 454 Pick-up.......

vacation was excellent, very happy with the truck, got 22-24 MPG overall. It is going in next week to be looked at though, transmission is occasionally shifting funky
