Anyone ever installed an aftermarket pitch stop?

Heads, valves, pistons, rods, crankshaft, etc...

I just think it is strange because:
1) I don't have any recollection of the Group N pitch stop being hard to mount on my last SS
2) I don't think the stock pitch stop would be any easier to install, size wise, than the Group N

I have a dremel, and I don't mind cutting (car already has scar tissue anyhow), but I haven't touched my car in weeks, and I probably won't until 2013

I ended up getting the pitch stop in without forcing it (and definitely without drilling the hole longer).

I had to loosen the engine mounts and the transmission mount, and then put a jack under the transmission.

That rocked the engine more forward, and made the appropriate gap for the pitch stopper to fit in just right.
