I don't have any experience with computer process unit kits because they require a full knowledge of the systems. The more I read, the less I like modifications to them unless its a fully sorted system which has a proven track record.
The rule with anything electronic, is that if it hasn't been done before, run. Or stand and fight by feeding it 10 dollar bills and your own hard work and that of other experts untill it does!
With the stock EEC and the aftermarket Megasquirt, there is sucessfull postive proof that say they work.
Any change must be to fix a problem.
Basic knowledge I have is:-
The aftermarket EEC stuff, like Crane Interceptors and Tw
eecers, are dedicated control boxes which probably could be made to work with the Aussie EEC's. All the fault codes and communication types are defined in the USA, so the systmes have to suit many EEC3, 4 or 5 set-ups, bank fire or sequential. Don't know for sure what info you need when ordering.
Trans American slushbox:-
The US AOD-E was a broadly updated, electronically managed replacement for the 1980 to 1989 AOD first generation Four stage auto. Any AOD, AOD-E, or later US Ford gearbox is bascially AOD, except the French designed Explorer 4- and 5 speed autos, which are juast beafed up C3's.
The AOD-E is sort of an FMX with an alloy case and really well sorted aftermarket support. It can hack 800 hp with modifications, but stock, they are pretty limited unless you go for the Baumanator or Dallas electronic controller, and upgraded the input shaft. They are designed for a Ford small block, they only fit US engines, like the Windsor, Cleveland, early 400's and 429's and Romeo OHC V8 engines.
Forget US transmissions for a while. The Aussie sixes and US v8's have different bellhousing patterns, and the AOD-E bellhousing won't come off unless you gasaxe it.
(Although, seeing how smart you engineering skills are, I'd say you'd be able to slap one on in a week!)
