The NA 3.8 in my 2000 Impala does not have this baseplate. The oem aluminum mount on the end of the head acts as the baseplate and the coils bolt to it (sandwiching the ICM).
Now I need to find this baseplate and bolts. Or make one from some aluminum plate.
Thanks for the info. Have a spare baseplate and bolts by chance?
