Basically you will have to mock it up to see where the headers fit best.. both the side to side and the up and down locations.. along with fore and aft.. of course if you are using those headers EDIT looking at the mid plate location it was in there in a stock location fore and aft I just seen that was a BB and your going SM.. still mock it up... I think they were 1 3/8" to the pass side for center line

I edited my post above EDIT I would move it rearward just so the dist clears and move it up some so it will transfer the weight easy

thats what I did when I fitted my motor plate.

Yes I got that half its the up and down
I think I'll put the pan on plus install center link
And center it and go from there I think it's the most crucial ??? The way to do it is get the engine/trans pointed right at the pinion then roll the pinion down for for the pinion angle
