    Does anybody know where I can get one of those intake manifold plates with the dial indicators on it?

    Flatness dose count ,but flat/sqare to the crankshaft is better, jig up your bare block with mains tourqted, in a bridgport miller,tourque the heads on with the gasket you use then the manafold, find the low spot, then mill the manifold flat with a cutter that cuts in one shot, .003 at a time till the manifold is flat/sqare to the crank.

    If you just want a surfacing plate, I make those out of granite. They are $150.00 plus shipping. torque the manifold down, coat with dykem and drag the plate back and forth until you are flat.

    thanks, I've got one ordered from QRS. I've got a lapping plate, but I don't surface it every time I take it off and I want to be able to make sure it's flat at the track
