Transmission Help Needed

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this post or not,
I want to mate a 99 Ford 5.0 to a 71 ford torino C4 tranny. What do I need to make this swap, Flexplate, bellhousing Etc. Is it even possible? Want to put the combination into my 46 Ford 1/2 ton.
Thanks

Trans should mate up ok, but you need the flex plate for the 99 engine, and different C4's took different size bellhousings, depending on flex plate tooth counts.
