Deck dimensions / blueprint
Hi there, getting a torque plate made over here in NZ, couldnt find one locally and really dont want to ship one 1/2 way accross the world!.
I have measured off a couple of sets of heads but am getting small errors that dont seem to add up for bolt holes and bolt offset from bore. I have input the data into CAD, but would like to check a few key dimensions off the original design if possible, happy to return a.dxf file if anyone only has scans or paper copies for the favour. Cheers Don

I made mine off a head gasket and it works well. The main hassel is to get the location holes right. I used 1 1/4" gas cut a wee bit small I then drill all the holes and bolted on to a block .I then got the engine shop to bore it on the block indexed off the bores 090 bigger than a 455 bore. It works pretty good.

Hey mate, if you want to send me the DXF file, i'll check your dimensions against a 64 block I have downstairs if you'd like. I've been meaning to draw up a torque plate myself for any engines that I do now as no machine shops over here have one in AU. What did you use as your datum? the front or rear of the block?

I have this picture I saved from somewhere. I don't know how accurate the measurements are but if I remember correctly it came from Cometic. Hope it helps.

I also used a head gasket to make mine. Made it out of 1.5" 6061 plate with a bore of 4.375. Worked great.

But that page doesn't totally show dowel locations, so here's the other page. Note the subtle .010" difference in dowel locations.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
