You should contact Lentech but assuming you have a std lockup AOD, no it will not work, will require the input shaft be changed to a one piece type... There are non-lockup converters that can be used but those are designed to use the std AOD dual input shaft..

I have a PI Stallion non-lock up 2800 stall converter and it needed a one piece input shaft. IIRC the Lentech converts are similar and require a one piece input shaft.

Yep. You have to take the trans apart to put it in though.
