There are, but they are kind of hard to find. I've seen some posted on NOPISTONs before.
But really, port templates are not too expensive when you consider the low volume they sell them in and the R&D work necessary.

It's not that I mind paying, but it sure would be nice if the port shape was die cut into the template. The engineering expense was recouped long ago, so $40-50 for a piece of sheet metal with an image scribed into it just doesn't impress me much!

No one really knows what the engineering expense is. How many engines did they have to build? How much dyno time was spent? How many ruined housings? And all to sell a few templates a month?
