Thanks but was looking for something that had dimensions that I could use as template to build my own. I know if I had he engine I could get it direct off that but I haven't bought the engine, so just thought I would see if someone had all the dimensions so I could build my own adapter plate.

I think I have seen where some people make those out of 3/8 in plate. Even ¼ in plate seems massively overkill and unnecessarily heavy to me. I used 3/16 plate on my mounts, but then again mine have some contour to them and aren’t completely flat.

As with each application. Some adjustments are needed. This is due to oil pan, Steering, Cross Member and Front Accessories clearance. By using thicker plates, it pushes the long mount bolt outwards as compared to thinner plates. This will cause alignement issue and many have complained about this. using Spacer, making the cross member hold oblong and other method have been used to align the bolt. Bottom line, you do what you have to do to make it work.
I had used 1/4" steel on my Chevelle and 1/2" Alumimum for my Nova.
For the template of the 1" setback that I posted. I also move the motor mount hole about 3/8" lower (well rasie the engine a bit) to help clearance the pan and also align the long bolts. Which is also like the Edelbrock plates anyway.
