I've got a bit of a stupid question....has anybody used a motor plate on new Hemi yet? It seems like it would be easier to mount that way. I'm no expert, I just read a lot of things when I get bored.
Here's Mine....
Going to ressurect this since I have been thinking about this again...Steff, excuse my ignorance even looking at your pic, but what accessories are you running, if at all? I like the idea of a motorplate if they are being made instead of mounts, but am curious about removing accessories as well like A/C and power steering, neither of which I want

Running an Alternator. Kinda' buried under the braided lines in the pic. It's on the pass. side, near k-frame.
I made the motor plate, using a jig saw and drill press. Not hard to do. I did use aluminum tooling plate though, which is finished on both sides. Saved me from having to mill the plate flat for sealing surfaces. I don't have a mill yet.
New motor also has my oil pump mounted to it. I'll post a pic of the new plate and motor later.

Bump, anyone having header clearance problems with their 3G Hemi swap?
Quote:
I'm putting a truck 3g in my Challenger. Its in and about ready to start, but I'm having header clearance issues. I've got TTI headers and Polylock mounts. My headers are pointing downwards too much under the car significantly reducing my clearance.
I'm also running a A500 trans, which is what I'm thinking is causing the motor to be tilted back too far pointing the headers downward.
I've had to do a little pounding to get clearance in a couple of spots, but it tucks up in the tunnel pretty good and doesn't appear to hang low at all. I'm about ready to drop the trans again and pound the crap out of the tunnel to get it up in there more. But before I go to all that trouble, I wanted to know if you guys are having the same issue with headers pointing downward at the outlet?
I think the 5.7 just looks like its leaning back toward the firewall more than stock smallblock/bigblocks in general, from all the pics I've seen.
Anyone have a similar header clearance problem?
I can't comment on header clearance (as I welded my own), but I can say my motor is tilted back more than I'd like. I've also got a tko600 Keisler kit, though.
What do your angles look like? I understand 1.0-1.5* is ideal, .5* is min, 2.0* is max for racing according to Mark Williams, and 3.0* is max according to Spicer. I'm thinking my front u joint is around 2.5* operating angle.
