The thought of a motor plate is good but in actual use I didn't like it. Maybe you need those poly lock or Schmacher mounts. You know, the kind in urethane and if it breaks, the steel catches it.
Can you expand on this thought? This was something I went back and forth and eventually went motor plate (stick shift, nitrous).
I ended up going motor plate this time because with the oil pan/lines, headers and steering/torsion bars it was easier to get the mounts out of the way. The motor plate occupies space (66 b-body) that was for the most part unused so gaining any room in the devils matrix (that area between the block, headers, steering box and oil pan) was of great benefit. I would think doing away with torsion bars and going to a rack would solve some of those issues too.
