I just started to "mock " mine up, and was afraid the water pump bolts wouldn't be strong enough.

I have 1 bolt on the RH side and 2 on the LH side.

I also have a mid mount.

Thanks Mr P.

I use a mid plate also.... .090 thick steel that mounts

between the starter gear and the ring on the conv

I forgot.... I use 3/8" 6061 T6 alum plate for the
front mounting plate... I wouldnt go thinner.. JMO
but I have bent 5/16" coming down from big wheel stand
because that plate is a structural member of the chassis
