You can certainly have mine if you want it, Out of my manual.
Surely you could modify it by lying the inspection cover over the bottom and cutting that part off?

Appreciate the offer. I have three manual block plates already if it comes to that.

I have one. I'd be happy to drop it in USPS or UPS for you tomorrow, if that would work.

Also have a flexplate from my 1995 351.

I'm going to dig through my storage unit one more time and make absolutely certain I don't have one. After that, I'll probably take you up on that.

And I haven't forgotten about your air box.

Cool let me know. And don't worry about the air box, I know you are busy, and I won't need it for a while.
