Hello All,

I'm looking for a machine shop along the I-25 corridor that has torque plates and possibly an intake bridge to torque all fasteners in place before honing my LS3 block. It only needs .003 honed, but I want it to be done properly.

The .003 clean up will allow me to fit the stroker pistons in along with a stroker crank to get 427 cu. in. out of an LS3.

My local machine shop tried a small block Ford torque plate, but the bore openings were just too small for the hone. Amazingly, the bolt holes were not that far off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
