Engine plates(where EGR use to be)

I see MBA has those plates to bolt up where the EGR use to mount to motor. Question is, does anyone have them for less than 65bucks?? 65bucks for a little plate is kinda high in my opinion.

But they're like the only ones who make a really sound example of such a product! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Engine plates(where EGR use to be)

Unless you want to try and do it yourself that's about it. And even if you do it yourself you will probably spend just as much if not more doing it. The only advantage is you can get it exactly the way you want. I know this from personal experience. This is one that I did. I cut the plate by hand but then with polishing, powdercoating and engraving it cost me about $70.

Re: Engine plates(where EGR use to be)

I am removing the EGR system from my 98 TA once the LS6 intake is installed so I would like to install a head plate.

Ron,<hr /></blockquote>Folks.... Is it just these two companies that offer the head plates?

I see some of the folks that have SS cars have there build #s on the plate. Did MBA charge extra for this?
