    An item you could sell is water pump spacers. I used to sell them but haven't had time to get back into it lately. I had someone ask about a set a few days ago actually. I've got a .dxf file you can have if interested. Throttle body plates are a good item as well.

    What purpose is a water pump spacer? I remember seeing people selling cover plates years ago that were cool looking.

    It just spaces the water pump away from the block far enough that you can remove the opti without removing the water pump. I never had extended drives made for mechanical pumps but it was good for electric pumps. Only drawback was you had to stand the radiator up a bit on f body cars.

    Anyone happen to have blueprints of a LT block laying around? Just need to correct the timing cover area, the rest should be good enough for what I need.
    New build coming soon.

    Happen to have any other format then a .dxf? I might be able to convert it back to a solid model with fusion 360, but my luck there has been hit or miss. I know Mastercam doesn't do this conversion.
    New build coming soon.

    Ok everyone, need a bit of advice or maybe you all have seen a post here to refer me to. As of right now this is modeled based off a SBC manifold, the intake bolt patterns are also Gen 1 SBC. Easy fix, just need to know details on the exact bolt hole location and angles (even better if its referenced to a Gen 1 SBC bolt holes).

    As of right now this is only 2.8300" tall. Still needs a midplate so figure 1" max there. A W175AX (2.9L Whipple) adds another 5.059". Max realistic height 8.9" bottom of the intake manifold to top of a whipple. Add a few inches for an intercooler (mounted to the bottom of a midplate).

    The renderings are rough for right now, but easily show it is possible within the dimensions given above.
    Render 1.jpg
    Render 2.jpg

    As far as material.... 3.5" thick, 22" long and 11" wide. 6061 T6 aluminum as of today that's $534.82 (might not be the cheapest quote available) before it even touches the machine, starting weight 83lbs. That doesn't include the midplate to mount the supercharger.

    Anyone still interested?

    No I sure don't. It's a simple draw though, take a water pump gasket, make it 1.25" thick
