Will the midplate cause trouble for big header fitment?

Can you still mount the alternator in the factory location, assuming so how do you space out the crank pulley to match the accessory locations?

Is the midplate of equal fitment/quality to the motorplate? I can weld, but I am not comfortable modifying/fitting.

Thanks, Shawn

Shawn,
The midplate works with big headers......I have 2 1/8" primary tubes on my car and the midplate fits just fine. The fitment is ad good as the motorplate. No fitting required just welding. You will be able to mount the alternator in the stock spot, you will just have to drill the plate.

Thanks

thanks chris! it makes perfect sense, i guess i was wondering how it would hold up to say 5000 miles per year(my average), i guess i could invest in some Red Loctite

Tom,
a the bottom pic the bar that comes forward and is welded into the frame, is the to eliminate fore/aft movement of the drivetrain?

thanks!

No, it is actually a guide or is to be used as a locator so plate will line up with the holes easier when installing the motor.

Sorry for the delay, here are the pictures of the mid-plate. I was waiting until we put the engine in the shop car so I could take a picture of one against a block.

We have 10 of these in stock today.

The second pic on the engine is a test pattern plate. The first pic that is on the counter top is the final plate that is available. Sorry Nick !
