I just put up a 160 G5RV antenna. Is 140 foot of 50 0hm coax required
to make yhis antenna work?

I'm not sure what a "160 G5RV" is. This tells you all about the real
G5RV, written by the inventor himself:

And this shows how it performs:

You can use a G5RV on 160 by strapping the feeders to give you a Marconi
T-style antenna, but it's a pretty poor compromise.
