We also 60 ft. in the 1.50's at the time. that would seem to be the easy way to go. Running a motor plate is more involved with the water pump and 2 sets of gaskets and shimming the alternator and fan if you are running these. MIke

I prefer a plate because its easier to get the engine in and out and does not come anywhere near the headers. The Schumacher stuff is over priced junk.

Don't use gaskets for the water pump, just use silicone.

I think he was asking about going to an electric water pump a week or 2 ago, so belt/pulley alignment won't be an issue.

I like the fact that the CE plates are one big sheet w/ no holes in it so you can cut it to fit how you want it and can mount stuff all over it.

Check us out at www.aeicnc.com We've made plates for a lot of guys here. This is a 3/8" plate we made for a big block Mopar. You can't see a lot of the plate itself, but as you can see, you can mount everything you need on it. All the engine mounting holes are in it, you just bolt it up and drop it in. 6903231-DSC02753.JPG (73 downloads) [image]http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/nhramark1/library/Racing[/image] 9.100 @ 150 mph 5.780 @ 120 mph
