Default What flywheel do I need?

I've got a 302 from a 82 grand marquis that I would like to mate to a toploader 3 speed that I pulled from a 72 mustang with a 302. The motor was from a 82 but the casting numbers say 1980 (E0..) so I'm not sure if this takes a 50 oz flywheel or not. Further when I look up 1982 mustang (comes with manual trans) I find that it takes a 157 tooth ring gear, and in 1972 the 302 came with 164 tooth ring gears. Is there anything out there that I can get the flywheel I need out of? If I need an oddball $300 aftermarket flywheel I'll just find a diffrent engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I hate this game I always lose...
