Thanks guys!
Here's what started this mess. A nitrous backfire ruined the previous setup.
Basically tore the car apart for minitub and 10 pt. install.
New rearend in and Wolfe Anti-rollbar

I posted some bigger pics on the midplate/motor plate setup. Basically rolled some sheet metal and cut an acutal midplate to fit and welded it together and welded it to the firewall. Be sure to leave enough room to get to the bolts if you build one this way. I have seem them like this before where they are so tight underneath that you can't get the bolts out!
The front we built some rails to make it easier to set the motor in. You can set the front plates on the rails, line the tranny dowels up and just slide the motor back into place. Makes it a whole lot easier to set everything in and line it all up.

It turned out better than I thought it would. I have some painted pics I will take next time I'm in town working on the car. Basically cut it all out and then take some sheet metal, break it 90* and then massage it into place. Takes a lot of trimming, bending, and spot welding on both top and bottom. Once you get it put in, seal it up and you should be ready to go.
