There were no v8 in 1980 1981 Mustangs they say.
Now i just have to find out which one i have and which one i need.

Kemicalburns is right
for all you know, that flywheel you bought might be off a 1962 Fairlane with a 221 small block with a Fordomatic 2 speed! Junkyards are the last...I say again... last resort when it comes to buying engine parts.

No markings, but it has been confirmed to be an 80' block but there is a possibilty that they have the lightweight crank in the 1980 block which would make it a 28oz and then I have problems as there is no flywheel i am told to match a c6 with that only an aod which won't work. If i go with the 1980 flywheel and gamble it does not have the lightweight crank, when i fire it up what are the implication if it is imbalanced? the e2az6375a is the flywheel we have already tried and it seems to have a deeper shoulder

D1ZZ-6375-A was used in 1980 models with 302's and a C6.
But, the can of worms you have is unknown...you will need to find out exactly what engine you bought, it could even be a 255..The vibration damper has a number on it, so does the end of the crankshaft. Did the wrecker by any chance give you the vehicles onboard computer with that engine? They usually remove them, and if you can get it, it will solve everything, because it has a calibration number that will lead directly to the exact engine.

It came from a 1984 Mustang, but was it the original engine to that Mustang? A lot can happen to cars over 23 years.
Without properly ID'ing the engine, you can't do anything.
I have a 65 F100, so I'm familiar with the engine bay.

Yes I have the old engine and they look identical so i am going to try the old flywheel , the only concern is if the new engine has the lightweight crank and what it will do if i have the 50 oz flywheel

i would reuse the flexplate from the original motor. OR
the C6 was offered with a 302 in the 80's as well so if this motor you have is 50oz you can use any C6/E4OD flexplate for a 302.

Is the converter all the way into the pump? it will make a clicking noise if it in properly as you spin it (spin the coverter as you push on it..it has to seat into the pump) C6 converter for the c6 transmission .....aod converter of aod transmission.......also never ever use the bell housing bolts to pull the bell into the block big no no, you can distroy the pump in the trany..with it all bolted up you should be able to move the converter studs in and out 1/4 or so thru the flexplate.......
there should be numbers somewhere on that flexplate.....
