subaru 2.2 into 71 bus home made adaptor plate?

Hello group,

I have a subaru 2.2 engine.. what a nightmare of vacuum lines and
solenoids... I removed the carb, plugged all the vacuum lines..
cast an adaptor to bolt to the intake manifold, put my solex
on it.. It's a very small engine once you get all the crap off it.

Has anyone here ever made an adaptor plate themselves
(to go between engine and tranny), or know of anyone who
has? Kennedy Engineering sells them, but they're a bit
pricey.
