C4 bell to block plate?

[Hustler]

Any of you guys know what I'm talking about. Its the metal thin sheet plate that has the bell/block bolt pattern cut into it and it mates between the block and the bellhousing. I had one on my T5 but gave it away to the guy who bought my T5. Do I need to get this at the dealership? I need one for a c4 164t big bell.

Call Performance automatic...the block plate will let you work with eithere fly wheel...

Since you got the big bell, the AOD plate should work. They both use 164 teeth flexplates.

Thanks guys, ya I found out ford discontinued the part, but for reference the part number is D9OZ7007A. I ended up calling PA to get it, thanks dlmkim. It was like 53.00 I just didn't feel like going to a junkyard to pull off a tranny to get it.

If you use a sfi bell and have the proper converter draw up you do not need this plate at all. I don't have one on mine. With the bell bolted to the block and the converter nuts off, you should be able to push the converter into the trans 1/8th of an inch. If you can't then you need the backing plate. Mine is 1/8th inch on the money. You take this measurement between the flexplate and the tabs on the converter. I now you bought one ,but maybe this this will help someone else out.
