Fab up a couple of plate mounts [ I used 2 x 2 angle ] welded to the frame an your all set to go. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I test fitting it in my '71 Challenger and it fit amazingly, so I am led to believe it is not an Indy made item. The dealer did have RB A-body ones as well. It just sits on the frame rails and you make some tabs. I should also note, that it is the same thickness as the Milodon gear drive spacers. 7062912-MotorPlate003.JPG (85 downloads)
