i bought the holley plates, the engine sits to close to the firewall... BRP hotrods kit, was just a pain in the *** cuz you have to drill new mounting holes and its expensive... and the dirty dingo plates are adjustable, they have 3 locations on them... dirty dingo is the ones i chose

and i also made some spacers for the frame stands outta 1/8 plate to raise the holley oil pan up a touch from the crossmember
