flexplate & transmission questions


I have a 66 Mustang with an I6 that I'm going to do the V8 swap. I had a guy rebuild me a 302 that I believe is a 1978 block with the 28oz Harmonic balancer. It does not have a flexplate on the back and he also threw in a used v8 model C4 transmission.

The model number for the block is D8OE 6015 E3A and the balancer number is D62E-6316-A2A. The model number on the Transmission is DAOP 7006 AA. I couldn't find any information on the transmission, so I don't know what year model or anything about it. He also left the torque converter in it.

What I need to know is what flexplate should I use and will this transmission work with the engine as is, or do I need to buy a new bellhousing/torque converter. Also, will the flexplate/bellhousing on my I6 C4 work with the new V8?

Thanks in advance

Don

The D8= 1978 the bell housing from that should be fine.
If the tran has been useing in the last 6 month and was stored inside the torque conv should be fine.
The Flex plate you need to get this one from jegs. it is $76.99

I pulled the transmission out into better light yesterday and the actual part number on the casing is D4OP 7006 AA. Does that mean the transmission was built in 1984?
