Default C4 flexplate and Bellhousing ID

I got a C4 transmission with the mustang I bought and I can't identify what bellhousing and flexplate that came with it. The flexplate has 140 teeth and has the Ford emblem stamped in it but doesn't have a part number I can find. I know the C4 is from a 1978 Mustang because the tag has D8ZP on it. Just needing to know if it will work in my 87 gt.











Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, the balance is gone to be wrong on the flex plate

I wasn't sure if that was the flexplate that came with the tranny. The weight looked larger than the older flexplates I had looked at that had 28oz. Also trying to id the bellhousing to see if a larger flexplate will work with it.

It looks to be a Mustang 2 bell they take a very small converter and a smaller flex plate and no the bell would not work with the big flex plate. you will need to find a 164 flex 50oz balance and the bell to fit it or get a 157 tooth flex with the proper balance for your engine and find the bell for for the 157 flex I have both bells if you cant find one. a flex from a AOD T Bird or Mustang will work as long as you get the 164 tooth bell when you start looking for the bells make sure it is for a C4 and not a C5 due to the depth of the C5 being deeper. Like I said if you need bells or a flex I have the stuff. PM if you need a price
