289-Flexplate-starter-help:)

I need to install a 289 ('66 engine) hooked to an AOD ('93 tranny), from what I've read I need to use the 28ounce flexplate...is there a 28ounce flexplate that comes in the 154? AND 163? tooth versions so I can run a starter from a 5.0?

See, I have a 5.0/AOD from a '93 Cougar, but have to run the 289 for a bit before I switch in the 5.0...so I'm trying to buy as few parts as possible just to get this truck moving under it's own power with the 289.

Did I confuse anyone yet?

Here's one that will work.

Basically you need a flexplate for an AOD or C-4 tranny with 164 teeth and 28 oz balance.
If you want to do some junkyard shopping-
You can find an pre 1981 302 or 351w flexplate for a c4 it will work. You can also look for a 351w flexplate with an AOD.
