don't worry about following that link, the guy who started it hasn't replied to it any further. try calling Madman and see what he would do for you.

umm.....i would go motorplate only if i was planning on making some silly power....at least 750rwhp before i worried about it. if you're just doing it so you don't have to F' with making mounts, then go for it. however, from everything i've read it sounds like it would be just as easy/difficult either way. i did not build my car if you were not aware, i bought it as it sits. my plan is just to improve upon it. lol.

header clearance would most likely be better with a motor plate, no?
