E Z enough to make, they just go into the water neck where the thermostat usually goes. a round plate with a small hole drilled into it. That is what a Ford restrictor plate looks like.

Yes, they do. Moroso for one. Chevy's use the same size plates as Mopar. Also a chevy water neck will fit on any Mopar aluminum intake, but not a stock intake.

Knock the center out of a elcheapo stock thermostat. that is what we use on the race car, seems to do the trick

A stock gutted stat might be too big and make it stay too cool or too small and make it run hot. That's why they make several sizes for race cars.
