Can you be more specific what your needs/wants are???
There is adaptable fixtures not specific to the machine other then a head mounting and or block mounting fixture.

[odl21]

either a block tru or just a pair of risers, hold downs, and mount bar.

basically, I have an 85B with no fixtures and I want to be able to mount blocks (inline and v8) on it.

I have seen on ebay fixtures by Rick Morris Equipment that look well made for mounting heads and could also be used for blocks.
That stuff used is tough to find.
Try the used equipment dealers that may have some odds and ends that can be adapted.
From the sounds of it you need a couple of parallel risers with clamps for a main bar to do blocks and a head fixture that will change over quickly.

The risers can be had from a lot of sources and the main bar should be no smaller then 2".
Ground and polished shaft is available by the foot so get 4 ft to start you will need it as the risers can be brought to center to make things easier L6 blocks need the length.
Clamps can be had easier for the 2" bar compared to smaller bars but any BHJ fixture parts use a 2" ring for a 2"bar

thanks. I have a 2" bar. but no risers or clamps. MSC wants crazy money for huge matched v-blocks. i also have one of pete's head fixtures which solves the mounting issue for heads and side draft IR intakes will.

Do you have a surface grinder or one you can use??

If so just factor the height needed to raise the fixture up from the main bed and parallel grind a couple pieces of 4" or 6" I-Beam steel on both sides and use then as risers and clamp mounts.
Drill for T bolts or through bolts or mill slots for adjustability of set up or change over and your done.

The clamps cam be made from aluminum bar with a hole bored to center then and drilled and threaded on one side then cut on one side to act as a pinch clamp. Steel would be better and longer lasting but harder to make with limited equipment. Rigidity is of the utmost importance here so that will be your decision as dampening the vibrations from cutting is a must with a solid mounting fixture.
Mounting to the risers can just be through bolts as most are that way to start with but depending on the length of the risers you may want several mounting locations
