Guy I know has a water jet and cad designing app. He could probably blow one out with whatever you need.

Re: WTB 351C Sprint Car Engine Plate
I am trying to find a blue print with the belhousing bolt pattern and locating dowel holes as well as the cam and crank center for driving the power steering and fuel pump off the rear of the camshaft.
There is an adapter thats used to mount the pump but there are holes to drill and tap and not sure if the water jet will do the bolt holes the crank and cam holes would be no problem and basic outline would be no problem.

The 6 bolt bellhousing to block is the same as all the other SBF's since 1965 including the 164 tooth flexplate/flywheel diameter for starter placement. The 6 bolt bellhousing for a 300 c.i. 6 cyl. is the same also but I don't remember about the starter placement. The C has a different t-chain than the W engines do so cam/crank cl's is the only thing different between theese engines.
Scott has a program for cutting out block plates without any cam dimension location, I think. But maybe waterjet everything but the final dowel diameter holes and along with the cam drive hole and attachment points can then be accomplished by their cnc mill.

What are you using to start the engine with and getting power to rear wheels? An in/out box or small flywheel/clutch?

Direct drive coupler to the crank with no flywheel on engine.
I use a shifter style Winters Sprint Rear End. There is a slip yoke and flange with a U/joint that bolts direcly to the crank.
Push car with rear end locked in to start engine. The coupler is the same bolt pattern as the 351W so its no problem.
The big deal is the fuel pump and P/Steering drive off the rear of the cam with a threaded spud with an internal 3/8/ hex drive.
