Yes was easy to do, I have a s&w race cars plate in mine. You just need to unbolt the plate when taking motor out.

No need to with .090 mid plate...cut around the starter and it'll mount flat
do you just space the flexplate out, or run spacers on the TC bolts then? I've always known about the mid plates, just never gave enough of a thought to how they are all mounted up. Thanks

Do you space the flexplate and starter out the same thickness of the plate?
Some mid plates come with a spacer. The one I had did not. I think it is something that should be done. Yes, it's only .090 almost 3/32". I had to run washers on the converter bolts to get the correct converter spacing. That is a pain to have to do when changing converter often. Spacing the flexplate is the smarter thing to do.
Not criticizing anyone who doesn't or thinks it is unnecessary. But, a flexplate or flywheel spacer is the smarter thing to do on a .090". DO NOT RECOMMEND ON A 1/4" DUE TO THE FLYWHEEL FLANGE ON THE CRANK. It could be done but a lot harder.

It is NOT recommended over .090 on the plate.. I was told by multiple people that .090 was OK... and it is
