Default flex plate help??

i am new to this site and i was hoping i could get some answers. I just bought a 1975 mustang ii that has been all done up with a 351w. my question is i tried to put the engine in but the flywheel seems to big? i have a c4 tranny that has been built with manual valve and 3500 stall, the fly wheel will not fit inside the bell housing?? please any help would be great.

Flywheel or flex plate? Autos use a flex plate, manuals use a flywheel.

I know there are different flywheel sizes for Ford, one for 10/10.5" clutches and one for 11" clutches. Maybe there are different size flexplates for the C4/C6? Try asking in the Classic section, there are a lot of auto guys with C4 and C6 setups.
