Front engine plate for LS available?

I'm planning an LS motor installation in a tube-frame chassis and would like to mount the motor using both front and rear engine plates. I've seen pictures of a CNC'd front-plate used on a CTS-based race car, but haven't found a supplier. A CAD drawing with dimensions showing the engine attachment points would also be helpful.
Does anyone out there know of a supplier who makes LS engine mount plates? Thanks.

Tom,
There are several people who offer front/mid plates for the LSx platform.

I am sure there are other quality plates out there, those are just three I remembered off the top of my head.
What are you working on, it sounds interesting!

Justin,
Thanks for the quick response. All three websites you referenced look great. I've also learned that Stenod Performance and Fab-Jet Services may also be potential suppliers.
The plan is to replace a similarly mounted SBC currently in a replica sports-racing chassis with an LS-based motor to provide street driveability without giving up performance. More details to follow as the project develops.
Thanks again for the great sources.
Tom
