Mr P, it's just one of those things I've heard through the years. Limiters are on the bucket list along with "J" bars.

But you run a mid plate. If I did that I would break tail shaft housings.

I would never solid mount in 3 locations.. when the
chassis flexes something has to give.. and the tailshaft
is the weakest point

I would never run a motor plate without a midplate

Indy block



On the stock block, I had to bush the hole in the block and notch the oil pan for the rod end to clear.

Jamie.. I've seen a few guys that made a bracket that
used 3 of the oil pan bolts and then to the K-member..
I believe they actually used studs(on the side of the pan)

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

That is how we did it. Captured 4 ARP pan studs with a home-made bracket and an S&W Racecars kit (chrome-moly tube, rod ends and tabs for K-frame). When we got the car it didn't have one and the trans mount was destroyed. Have this one on the car for the last 5 years and it seems to work great. Studs provide enough strength with no deflection.

My chassis guy built a bracket that bolts to the pan rail. Hard to see the bracket in this pic.
