Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 216 235 261 cylinder block front end plate

I am looking for a good front end plate for a 216 235 261 cylinder block. Do you know of any sources?

Thanks, Bill.

Dear Bill;

Try Tom's Truck Parts in Miami, Ok. Their # is: 918 542 3871.

Good luck, John M..,#3370

Why do you need this part?

If it is because the one you have doesn't have the right mounting holes, just drill the holes as needed, and save yourself the time and trouble of taking half the engine apart to change the plate.

Otherwise, Jim Carter truck parts usually has used parts available, or try any older salage yard. They usually have a few of these engines laying around...

I was moving my engine from the driveway into the garage and the engine stand fell over (ouch)! Bent the part badly and I am not sure I can get it flat enough to seal again.
