I got one online, and another from O'reilly's...

 

IIRC, there are intakes that angle the valve. Been a while.

 

You don't have to make a "plate". There's ALREADY a spacer plate under the valve, with 2 bolt holes and the 2 holes for flow.

All you need is a piece of aluminum, copper, or even sheet steel, something like maybe https://www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Buil...030/100249048; cut it with scissors, drill 2 holes. Maybe get acoupla slightly shorter bolts.

Make your world an EXCUSE-FREE ZONE. Just get it done.

 

Your local go fast place has them. Edelbrock sells them too.

put the EGR on, make it not working.
