Where is the best place to buy a large Bore (4.5 inch+) Hemi torque plate, without breaking the bank? Me and another guy wants to go in halves on one, Our local machinist doesn't have one of these. I'm sure he can get one, but If we buy one we might get some free machine work on trade, he does real good work, and just bought a new crank grinder, and I don't think he would use it often around here anyways.

Thanks
Bob

Bob,
What do you consider "breaking the bank"

Well
I figured we could pickup one even (used) if possible. I was trying to keep the price down under $200 each, or $400 total. Is this in line with whats out there?

We just bored out our standard deck plate so we could use it on 4.560 bores.We also bored out one to use to indicate for o-ring grooves in the deck and block.

The cheapo Goodson wedge plates are about 450 bux each and would require mods and the BHJ hemi plate retails at 550 each

Pioneer, Inc in Mississippi sells an assortment of torque plates. But I'm at work and don't have thier performance catalog to check specifics. I believe they had 2 styles to choose from last time I checked. Ask for Jimmy Walton.
