I hope it's ok to add this here. I was surprised I didn't see it on that site, but it may not be a popular swap.
For anyone that wants to put an AOD behind a 351w you can not use the C6 flexplate - you'll eat your transmission in a few miles. There is approximately a 1/4" difference in where the torque converter sits. The C6 flexplate will push the TC too far into the trans.
What you need is a flexplate from an 89 Crown Vic with the 351w/AOD combo. Actually, any early 302 or 351w mated to a C5 of FMX trans will also work.
OE # E0AZ-6375-A
ATP #Z105
Motormite #04352
164 teeth ; pitch 12
14.23" outside diameter.

For example:
E0AZ-6375-A .. A/T Flexplate: 1981 E150/250 351W/C6 & F150/350 & Bronco 351W/C6 / 1981/89 Crown Vic/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car 302/351W/AOD
There are two other A/T flexplates used in the 1980's, depending on the applications could be used with C6 and/or AOD.
The applications are so confusing and lengthy, the only way to do it would be to post the parts catalog pics of all the apps.

There is more than just one C6 flexplate.

What you needed to do before posting this jazz, was to look in the 1980/89 truck and car parts catalogs.
