Yep the way I made the chassis the extensions on the plate will mount to my bottom front 4 link brackets.

Do you just bolt it solid, or use some kind of rubber/poly isolaters in the mix?
And Fuzz don't need no more power, don't send him the plans!
I all ready have 3 of the factory plates to use as templates was thing about mid plate and solid motor mounts
best ever 11.669 @ 112.33 mph in 1/4 mile on 33 x 10.50 slicks and 4" lift / 7.358 @ 93.03 mph in the 1/8 mile
I have a set of solid mounts sitting at mc's shop. They came from a.j. jacobs, I'll sell them to you for whatever aj sells them for + shipping.I all ready have 3 of the factory plates to use as templates was thing about mid plate and solid motor mounts
The midplate is mounted solid. Bolted to the frame mounts.
From what I hear Fuzz is gonna need maybe a front plate too.

I would open the hole in the center so you can get your flywheel through it so you can pull the engine without pulling the trans.
Don't see why the hole would need to be opened to pull the engine. The only nice thing about the cutout in the OEM one is when a couple dummies forget to put the plate inbetween the engine and tranny, you can work it in without pulling the engine completely away...like we did when we put the 401 in, the first time. Hopefully we'll remember this next time.I would open the hole in the center so you can get your flywheel through it so you can pull the engine without pulling the trans.
In my car and most cars I have seen with engine plates you can not pull the engine with the mid plate attached so you have to be able to get the flywheel through the mid plate.
or pull the trans and remove the flywheel.
