Re: BBC FRONT MOTOR PLATE

After talking with the guys at Ed quay. I dont think they can do what I need done..there plates are made for them by another Vender.. to there specs.. and I would like a few things done..they Cant..

so I contacted AEI
Arch Engineering Integration
They do all work in house. and can do what I would like.. for my 3rd gen Camaro
after getting crank center line..its a few min on the water jet..and done.
something like this but for a BBC in a 3rd gen..with a few other tweeks..(yes I know its for a sbc.) pic is a example only for ref. on some cuts..


AEI below is what they offer for the 3rd gen Camaro with a bbc..you can go from there its endless...


After All.. everybody has a plane old front plate...
The Chromaro needs something not everybody has..(Balling if you will)

the cut outs and the shape...a place to add a vacuum pump built in &..a spacer for the back of the crank pully. .to go with my bracket set up I have.IF i need it..
.all made in house one stop shopping..

not so blocky looking..like all the rest ya know nice looking flow with the rest of the bay..and polished..(after fitting)
one that has room for the power steering lines..coming out of the back of the pump..clearing the stock steering box.and a bit more shapely..

as most are just cut from a sheet..made to fit..and thats about it..they do there job..but..some like house wives..some like strippers... some like house wives that are strippers..lol..
