What kind of car are you going to put it in?

Motor mounts & a torque strap for backup. The plates have been known to leak(but not always) & you want the carb reasonably level & check your pinion angle. God works thru Moparts.

Motor plate



Last thing you want or need is tranny problems. Plus you will help stiffen the chassis a little.


Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Set your motor in with the motor mounts, to get it in the position, it belongs. While the motor is sitting there, you can make up the motor plate and tabs for the motor plate. Then it should be in the correct position. When all done remove the motor mounts.
