HI,
I have been looking through past topics for info on where I can get SBC gaskets and other consumables, without success, I am looking to buy, among other things, an SBC engine lift plate.
Can one of you nice people out there put me out of my misery.

Real Steel in Cowley, Middlesex are good for most things

^ Agreed and they have an exceptionally good despatch department. Most things arrive next day even if the order was placed late the day before.

I was advised not to use an engine lift plate with an alloy intake manifold as there was a chance of the bolts pulling. . . . not sure if this was right but I bought a load leveller from Machine Mart instead.

Agreed.
I don't like the lift plates either.
I also use a load leveller but made my own from an old car jack.

Hi guy's , I have heard this topic before, but having picked up the ex GTR-GAZ engine from Gardner Douglas on Friday where they use them all the time, I have to say that I think the 'jury is out' on this one at the moment...time will tell!!!

p.s. thanks for the Real Steel info.
