Default Burkhart mid plate system

Anyone have pics of this system and how it differs from a regular mid plate?

Thanks

There are several here:

we hang ours from a hoop off of the frame rails. This will allow you maximum header and collector clearance. It is a very nice way to do this on a car without a lot of room for the headers to start with.

Im interested as well, I looked at the website but I cant see how it attaches to the motor, I know the plate bolts between the trans and block but does it unbolt from that tube that runs across the framerails?

The mid plate is sandwiched between the block anf the trans. That means you will need the adjust the converter snout to engage properly in the flexplate. You will also need longer bellhousing bolts.

It does bolt to the bar that gets welded in as well.
