Motor/ mid plate suggestions for r3block and Reid case power glide

Jerry gray said

It is the 9.200 deck block.that is good to know. I have a motor plate for a standard deck height block.didnt even consider the motor plate being different..thanks alot for that tip. I will see about finding the correct motor plate.the r3 stuff is new to me. I have only had LA stuff in the past.the engine came with the car, but wasn't in the car.its gonna be fast

I’ll have to recant that statement.... motor plate (between pump and timing cover should be ok (same), it’s where the timing cover meets the block where you run into differences..... the 9.0/9.2 deck require the unobtanium “Arrow” timing cover, or in the case of belt drive a spacer/adapter. Sorry for the wrong statement.... this stuff still makes my head explode. I have a 9.20 deck W8 we run in the car, and a 9.0 deck W8 mill on the stand.
