Flywheel weight

Good afternoon "Ford Persons". It has been a minute, but i love coming here to gather info. I don't know if there is a thread already asking this, but i couldn't find it. My question is rather simple. I have a '89 with 302, 5-spd (Mazda tranny-M5R2). A few years ago, I cracked the block and found a replacement but am only just now getting around to messing with it to install. While removing any working parts from the old engine to compare and re-use on the replacement, I noticed the flywheel has a different weight. The cracked engine had the extremely heavy flywheel with the clutch kit. The replacement engine didn't have a clutch kit, and the flywheel was extremely light. I assume the engine was for an automatic tranny. I haven't done a thorough investigation yet until i start to clean the parts. My question is, are the flywheels interchangeable? Also, is there a balancing issue that goes with the flywheels?

You asked the same question here.... Flywheel weight and Interchangeability - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)

That thread is 3 pages down now so maybe you lost track of it. Did you see my answer there?

Quick answer is, no you can not use the auto flex plate with the manual transmission.
