Sorry dick, I thought he might have been confused. Also thunderracing.com still claims to have some, in limited quantities. Here is a link to it. Oh yea next time you get a case of "internet *****" let it go.

Yes I was talking about the cylinder head plate. I really dont want to spend $45 on one just to use as a template. I guess I might try and find somewhere to have one made?

You could make a template out of cardboard or paper, buy some aluminum, and make one yourself...I believe Steve1969LS1 and Poltergeist did this before MBA began selling them...
