I've got a motor plate with a mid plate.. Do I need to put limiters on this.. Okay little more info. the duster has a stock big block k member in it out of a 68 Dart so the motor mounts are still on it.. well at least the passenger side.. Whatca think...

I would put one on it, I usually go from the boss on the drivers side down to the top of the K member. This is to limit it front to back. I'm assuming that your not using the stock mounts.

Multiple ways of doing it... I prefer 2 limiters but
thats me(can eliminate twist) but you can use a rod
from the engine mounts on the block to the frame rails
or you can come off the trans ears to the rails
thats just a couple

Sorry, I dont know for fact... but I have heard of
guys breaking the ears off of the engine with solid
mounts(but thats all they were using, no motor plate)

To be honest I would cut off all of the motor mounting
stuff and just use limiters... you save weight and
clear that area

i believe that the engine limiters are an incredible way to harness a few extra HP...when speaking to a friend of mine who has a 3500lb cornett with a 954hp(870lb tq) 604ci B-1 motor and it only runs 9.40's..he has engine plate and stock trans mount..he saw the way i installed the 3/8 motor plate, Mid plate, and a solid trans mount,i told him that i was going to use at least 1 engine limiter and he couldnt understand why..when he started his car you could see it moving slightly in the engine bay.. i told him thats why the solid mounts everywhere.. to control ALL of the movement and harness it into HP..every little bit counts..Right??? the motor is not only torquing clockwise but trying to turn sideways in the engine bay and a .090 midplate is not very stong in that application.. the limiters will strength it all... going to pick up my car from the Chassis shop today and finish everything up.. one being the limiters now that the headers are built and in...good luck...
