Well, it fits.

Jesel back plate retained with locating pins (Cerakote on the locating pin portion was a bad idea!):

Then the motor plate:

This is the belt cover/water pump back plate/cam sensor mount:

Looks awesome. I can only imagine the time and money out into that deal.

I say that because you will have bad galvanic corrosion from the dissimilar metals, You may want to stick with a chrome-moly, I would hate to see such nice work go to [censored] on account of the fasteners.
It will be serious issue and it will not take long, Also consider a Sacrificial Anode to save parts also.
Nice work for sure!

my thoughts as well. even using hi-temp anti-seize, galvanic corrosion will still be somewhat of an issue.
as stated above, a sacrificial anode is a MUST.
EXCELLENT machine work, to be proud of !
