Who has the dimensions for motor mount adapter plates?
Who has the dimensions for motor mount adapter plates? I have access to a machine shop on Friday afternoons at school so I'm thinking of fabbing my own adapter plates. Anybody have the exact dimensions of the more popular adapters? I found some old links but the threads were dead. Appreciate any help you can give. Yes I know you can buy for relatively cheap, but I'm playing in the machine shop anyway and want to try and build a set.

Good idea if you have the access to the machine shop. wish I had... would make my life a lot easier and work quicker. I've done most of my machine work with simple power tools (drill, griders, cutting wheels, etc).
That was me who posted it on the other site. It is the early BRP stye plate. I found it on this FAQ here in LS1Tech a long time ago.. you can use the four base bolt holes to the block as a base to build your plates to any type you want..those will not change.
You can then lay your motor mount on the plate on bottom / front hole and layout and mark the top two holes for your motor mount to plate to have a standard set plate.
To get a 1" setback, just move the hole forward 1" (or as much as you need). Most of the set back plate work better if you lower the mount holes about 1/8-3/16" down (look at the Edelbrock plates). You can make they fuly adjustable like the Dirty Dingo ones.
You should be able to find the template for the Standard (ATS/S&P) plates, I might have that one to some where saved.

Thx for the one choice. Push my luck; I'd really like to fab up the swaptech/nooks setup that allows +1, std or -1 inch movement. Anybody have a set of these that can give me the hole size/spacing.
