Midplate and off the shelf headers? Is it possible? I looked at putting a midplate in my car, but after looking at the right side header, I don't see it happening unless you get custom set of headers made
Anyone done this with off the shelf headers?

Mine took some work to get to fit, this is a comp engineering plate, had to cut off the passenger side tab and weld on a new tab that met the frame rail higher to allow header clearance.

Can you just use spacers on the converter when using a midplate? I know it is tight right now getting to some of the bellhousing bolts, how do you do it with a midplate added? Where is the desired chassis attaching mount point?

I have QTP 1 7/8 headers, there is no way that I can get a midpalte to work with these headers that I can come up with, unless I do the 1 5/8 bar from framerail to framerail.
LSmonster, do you have any pics of your Kooks and midplate setup?
Sure. But remember, I don't have anything hanging off to the sides of my block. I trimmed all that off and hung my mid plate from the top. In my "opinion," hanging it from the top is the best way to do it. Take a look at my "Rookie VS. the 25.5" thread and you'll see how I did it.
