    There never was a 157 tooth-50 oz/in factory flexplate. It's an aftermarket only item. To find one of these in a junkyard would be from shear luck.

    :D You are. No ifs, ands or buts about it. The C4 was killed before the switch to the 50 oz/in cranks came about. The early 80's C-5's had 164 tooth bells as did all the AOD's. So, there's no O.E. application for a 157 tooth, 50 oz/in flexplate. There were in flywheels with the T-5.
