I'm confused. Motor plates and travel limiters are two completely different things. Are you talking about your budget and what you can afford at the moment? I believe you needed both the front and midplate to mount the motor. Travel limiters have to do with the suspension. Please elaborate a bit more.
transmission travel limiters...
Unless you run a solid tranny mount, you need limiters. The front plate will flex. A solid tranny mount does nasty things to the tailshaft housing.
How thick is the midplate? You need to consider clutch/converter spacing, length of dowel pins in the block, etc, etc when you go w/ a midplate.

I was actually talking to Madman about this today. What he told me was that you don't need a midplate for most apps (correct me if I'm wrong). But with a front plate and a travel limiter and a tranny mount (doesn't have to be solid), you are set. Also, without a midplate you don't have to deal with all the stuff Harlan was talking about -- extra space between tranny and motor that you have to account for.

Like Harlan said, midplates complicate things when it comes to ordering the converter & the transmission. Coan asked me several times if I was running a midplate when I ordered my converter.
