Need help finding flywheel dust cover

Hi I am a new member and this is my first post along for assistance. I just bought my 63 Ford F100 and noticed that the flywheel cover was missing. I have looked online and eBay but cannot find this part. What is throwing me off is that the previous owner told me the engine and transmission came from a 69 mustang. It's a 289 but I don't know weekday kind of transmission I have. Does anyone know what cover goes here and where i can find this cover?
Here is a pic of where it would go....
Thanks in advance for your help! !!

The 289 was last used 1n 67.

That looks like a C4. Count how many bolts hold the transmission pan on.

CJ Pony parts has the inspection covers for a C4, C6, and FMX for a reasonable price.

14 bolts with a rectangular pan is a FMX.

Look at these pics:

Thank you all so much for your help. So the FMX inspection cover is what I need. Does anyone know what thread screw that takes? Thanks Shadowrider for that pic learned how to identify them.

That's not a C4 or FMX. It's an AOD, which means you have overdrive. Didn't anybody notice the 10mm pan bolts and the "METRIC" on the pan, as well as "Automatic Overdrive" on it.

Great observation Mike. So is this a good transmission. Do I research aod for the flywheel cover? When were these used? Later years? Now I'm wondering what engine I've got.

So I guess we can all agree that it didn't come out of a 69 Mustang.

CJ Pony Parts has the AOD cover.

AOD was introduced in 1980 and used until 1992 when it was updated into a full electronic controlled transmission. I can't tell you the specific year on it but if you post the casting number on the drivers side of the case, we can get real close. It's not a bad transmission but can be finicky with adjustments and such. Kinda interested to know what carb you're running and how it was hooked up. Possibly the motor and tranny are a matched set. If so, I don't believe you would have a 289, maybe a 302.

AOD intro'd in 1980 LTD/Grand Marquis/Cougar/Thunderbird/Lincoln Town Car/Mark VI 302.

AOD intro'd in 1981 F100/150 300/302.

Casting numbers are foundry marks, cannot be cross referenced to Ford part numbers.

Trans ID tag located on servo cover, left (drivers side) of trans case. It could be missing by now.
