SBC Guideplates

SBC guideplates don't have the same spacing as what is needed for LT1s. You will end up with several cylinders with skewed alignment.
Suggestions:
GM p/n 14011051 (8 needed) (good idea to check them for hardness)
Trickflow Part # 30400623-8
or adjustable guideplates

I took some SBC's and hack sawed 90% of the way through, and spread the slot spacing as required. Then I bridged the cut with a weld and bolted them up. It seems like this will work well.

Here is a comparison to some I had before from the old Combination Motorsports vendor. I think they were probably Comp plates. They did not align all cylinders properly. The spacing difference was also detectable in a side by side or stacked comparison to the GM plates.
