I can not find the exact specs on your flywheel, but it appears you "may" have a imbalance problem. In 1982 Ford went from 28oz to 50oz imbalance on the 289/302/5.0 engine. You need to match flywheel to engine. I could easily be wrong, but appears to be the later model flywheel.

Drill and tap the bolt holes to 3/8".
Get proper bolts with shoulders.
