If you have any problem sourcing it give me a shout. we can supply it to required size or as a fully cut motor plate.

How thick are they
Do you need to extend the input shaft for an ally motor plate

Everything we have ever made is 1/4 of an inch thick as per rules.they where for v8's not V8's but the thickness is the same.

The input shaft should be fine. there are bits to be gained by modifying the bellhowsing if not.

Might want to think about the starter gear engagement to the flywheel also , whatever thickness is sandwiched between the engine and transmission will move the ring gear causing the starter to not engage. Mike McCarthy
