Default 460 block plate & throwout questions

I've gotten to the point of wanting to mate the engine with the transmission. (460 with a Richmond / Lakewood bellhousing) I've bought all my parts from Mike Forte but have a few questions. Do I need a blockplate on the 460? It looks like I do? Does anyone have one to sell or know where to buy one? I also need the bottom flywheel coverplate if it is a seperate Pc.
Also, on trial fitting, the Hydraulic throwout ( a Weber / Mcloed bolt up unit) is in constant contact with the pressure plate. (Weber Diaphragm). Is this correct? Since there is no adjustment that I can see, I don't know. It sure doesn't seem right though. I know to replace the banjo fittings with AN fittings and make sure my pedal stop is installed. Anything else I need to know besides making sure to indicate in the Lakewood?
