Hemi engine with motor plate

76Duster said

I have it mounted to the engine, but not in car. I'm not planning to use a mid-plate. I am going to build a limiter braced off the transmission. The car came with a slant six. I may try to find a V-8 k-member and use motor mount adapters to locate the engine and plate in the car. I cannot get the headers to fit. It may well need to be raised more than I wanted it to be.

I used TTI headers and they fit the motor and the A body well, but they are HARD to install! Only issue with them is that the driver's side one actually touches the side of the transmission (727) around the middle of the pan rail and I don't know if I can just stick a big cheater bar inside the collector and pry it away or not. I would also love to see pictures of that motor plate mounted to the 5.7.
