Pretty common stuff. By Dave Shoe - 12/16/2002 1:47:00 AM; IP 216.243.176.34 NOS is nice, but it won't bring much added value to an engine plate. They're very common. As for engine fit, all versions are about the same. In some cases you'll have to drill some holes to clear the threaded oil plugs. Some plates were stamped for the flush-mounting press plugs, and others drilled to clear the protruding tapped oil plugs. Many FEs from 1958 through about 1964 came without engine plates, so it's important that they not be added to an engine which is not supposed to have one, particularly an auto-tranny car, as the torque converter is supposed to be a set distance between both the tranny and the engine to prevent undue thrust on the #3 main bearing thrust surface, and also on the tranny front pump.

This thread, so far...
