Ok - so I'm thinking of installing a 5.0 efi motor in my wife's mustang. I need to mate it up to an automatic transmission. What are my choices? Can I use a C4 that I have or do I have to go with an AOD or ?

You can use either one as long as you use the proper balanced flex plate for the 89 motor .
