we ran 1 5/8 tube and bent it 2 times and welded it to each frame rail then welded nuts inside tubing and bolted it in.

that last pic is what im looking for, but the other side is where my concern is, the fire wall comes out farther on that side and it looks like there wont be enough room for the plate.

see im not soo crazy after all... hell even burkhart mounts them like mine

just make sure you mount the motor and tranny as far back as you can to help with weight distribution..... the motor and tranny are the heaviest pieces so moving them back 1" helps TREMENDOUSLY

Ty and Steve, I assume you guys are running steel mid plates and welding them, if not how are you mounting them? I was thinking about running Alum motor an mid plates, but can't see a good way to mount Alum to the mid plate support you guys are using and have it hold well...

AM Motor and Steel mid. We weld a bracket into the hoop to bolt the mid plate to.
