are all block plates created equal?

Hey folks,

finishing up aquiring the last few parts needed for a T5 swap and the block plate is next....

can I just buy this one off eBay?

any problems with this? air circulation through the holes perhaps???

I don't want to make a stupid mistake...

50 resto has them for 53 plus shipping = 65 so I would just assume save 35 bux if no harm is done..

Unless you are needing SFI ratings for racing, pretty much any plate will do since there is no load on the plate itself.

Thanks. I ordered one from my buddy at a Ford dealer for $32.
