302/ transmission interchange

Yes. But make sure the 79 flexplate's bolt pattern for the torque converter matches the AOD, it should, but make sure and test fit it just in case. C-4's came in three bellhousing sizes: 147, 157 and 164. AOD's come only with a 164 tooth bell. Your 79 C-4 should also be the 164 if it's original to the truck.

Be very careful about what flexplate you use with the AOD, the offset is unique and I know for sure that C6 and E4OD flexplates are different and will destroy the transmission by pushing the TC too far back into the pump. I don't know if a C4 flexplate is similar or what but I wouldn't use anything that wasn't stamped AOD. For that early 302 you want a 28oz flexplate and that was used in the mid '80s Crown Vic between a 351 and AOD.
