Roller cam thrust plate

Anyone have suggestions on finding a thrust plate for my '71 350 I'm converting over to a roller cam. I need one within the next couple weeks. I messaged Clark455 and no responses yet on the custom ones he had made up and having trouble finding any online. I haven't checked Summit, but i found this one on ebay for a '92 350 Vista Cruiser. Not sure if that's a diesel or something else...

Camshaft Thrust Plate 57RMXV71 for Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 1992

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

If I remember right, the 307s came with a roller came and thrust plate from the factory. If you can find a cheap untouched 307 it might be a cheap option.

Thanks for that info. I thought I remember only the diesel having a roller cam. I can do some checking, but finding one locally in the next week or 2 will be tough. I'm behind on this restoration. Appreciate it!

Please re-read my initial post.. I've tried twice now. No responses. Someone else mentioned he hasn't been on here since maybe June.

Roller cam thrust plate

I believe that I still have the original one that Clark used to model his after.
