I want a honing plate for a 1985-87 Buick 3.8, approximate dimensions are:
Bore would be 3.8"+, with a bore spacing of about 4.250. Bolts would be about 4.250 x 3.100. Dimensions measured with my caliper.

Contact CCA Racing.
They do custom plates and they are very reasonable in price.
They are complete with spacers for studs or bolts. ask when you order

Thank you for the suggestion, I have emailed them.
I have found what I believe to be a Buick Stage II torque plate. It has a 14 bolt pattern. I suspect that it should fit the 3.8 using the 8 bolts. Can someone confirm this?

You can do a Google search for use Sunnen equipment dealers lt should show many with T/plates available
Jamison equip.has a bunch available as wll as Farris equipment/
They have toll free numbers that work from Canada but don't call late in the day.
They will respond to emails quickly. I deal with both of them all the time
Good luck in the search
