I haven't seen a wedge plate and thermal insulator combined have you?
Maybe I should invent one?

I actually toyed with a related idea. I was going to take a bunch of standard Holley gaskets and cut several of them at incremental lenghts and sandwhich them between two full gaskets with RTV inbetween to create a wedge gasket which would have some insulator value. It's a little half baked
and once my motor was in and seems to only be a degree or two off horizontal, I kind of shelved it.
But, you might be on to an idea. The manufactured wedges I've seen are 5 to 8 degrees and pretty thick. A 3 to 4 degree wedge built out of insulator material of minimum thickness might be a popular accessory.
