Where to find a Torque Honing Plate

[Jagdpanzer]

Starting to locate sources for the special tools I will be needing to assemble the LT5 stroker motor I've got in the works. To go the 402 CID route with the 4.0" crank I have 4.0" liners will be required. Anybody have a good suggestion on where I can borrow, rent, or otherwise acquire reasonably a 4.0" torque honing plate for an LT5? Right now I'm thinking of using an local motor machine shop that is well versed in automotive engine liner installations but unfortunately they do not have a LT5 torque plate on hand for finishing the liners once they are installed in the block. Found a source for a BJH plate here: http://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/6604.html
No doubt a nice plate but a lot of $$ for just one engine build. Would prefer to spend the money elsewhere if possible.
Thanks,
Phil

you might ask flyn ryan if he knows someone

Hi Phil
For that price you might be better off sending the motor to someone like Marc or Ryan to have it honed and shipped back to you.

Just an idea.
See you at BG

I found a local machine shop with a water jet table.
Can anyone help me out with a cad drawing of the cut out in either dwg or dxf format? My guess is a head gasket would do for a pattern.

I use AutoCad Architecture 2010. Files are in .dwg or can be .dxf.
Give me a good instruction and I can do it for you.
