Help with block plate!

[jakegator]

Hello, I'm in the process of swapping an auto to a manual trans. I have everything except the block plate (aka starter indexing plate). Does anyone know the part number to this piece? Ill end up calling ford eventually but I find it hard to believe no one knows the part number or where to find one. It needs to be the manual Block plate.

Thanks
-Jake

I have seen the SOHC block plate fit an OHV engine and this is one for a 2001 through 2011 Ford Ranger and Explorer so check this one out,,,

Thanks for the response! It looks identical to the one IZwack posted several years ago that I was using as a reference. Ill probably end up going with the one in your link.

I'm not positive, but I think I read somewhere that the OHV and SOHC short blocks are the same. If that's true, stuff like that should be interchangeable.

That what I figured, the bell housing pattern is the same so the block plate should be too. I just have been having issues finding a manual one.
