My point is the Ford plates aren't exact. It worked fine for awhile, these plates ain't cheap. Today I got a 4.00", 4.100", 4.200" - that's about 1700.00 bucks.

I just last week took a SBC plate and drilled the 10 holes in it to match the LS engines. Now I have one plate that does both engines.
Also, Goodsen sells the plates for LS but they are pricey. http://www.goodson.com/store/templat...d4cf0cf5592d16

Hmmm, this either blows the current myth out of the water, or the SBF plates have enough "bore size" to allow them to be used on the LS motors (albeit with some offset). Maybe work on a 3.9" bore but not the larger bores?

Yeah a regular Ford SBF [;ate with 1/2 ind head bolt holes will just fit on a 3.900 bore LS1 with 11mm bolts but it won't fit the larger bore LS1 stuff at a point due to the bore spacing.

I like using the gaskets I will be using and a TQ plate that completely covers them just ike the head would so as small as you can get on there. We have 4 different LSx TQ plates and about 10 different gaskets.
