Throttle Body Adapter plate

Does any company make/sell just the adapter plate? I'm thinking about just getting the GT500 throttle body from Ford because I can get it at 10% over cost. Maybe cheaper that route. Any input would be great. Is it even worth it?

Yeah, I read your thread about it. BUt you are also blown so you might not notice as much.

So the adapter plate cost more than the throttle body? Damn
