The only thing im missing (besides paint) on my street friendly notch is a flexplate....as guessed i traded out the fuel injection for a carb and the AOD for a c4.....this orginally was a 4cyl car and i pulled all the v8 hardware out of an LSC lincoln....Where can i find a 50oz flexplate for a c4 that mates up to a 302/windsor? Another thing.....what did all you 4cyl to 5.0 swap guys do about the alternator harness?
50oz c4 flexplate?

Bolt pattern is the same, anything that came factory with a c4 and a 302 will have the flex plate you need. Easiest thing to do is hung junk yards for older trucks and vans, and rob it from them.
Or just get a cheapie off the internet, hell TCI sells one for 90 bucks
year model of the engine/crank determines which weight you need , 80-up I believe is 50 oz TCI and B&M both make 50 oz C4 flexplates
i know what weight i need.....its an 89 5.0 motor, which is obviously a 50oz balanced motor

B&M part number is 50239 $116.95 from summit
the 157 toothed flexplate will work with the stock starter correct? Im new to this automagic stuff
