got my engine today and ineed help with install. should i go with motor plates? or is their a company that makes motor mounts strong enough to hold this engine. if i go with the plates how do i know what position the engine should be. god i need alot of help

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.

its going into an a body valiant.the motor should put out 700 without nos. and more with it. i am told that no motor mount will hold this much power

Motor plate



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

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.
