Motor plate thought?

Well, the ARE plate goes between the water pump housing and the block. I put mine in independent of the k frame. I am going with an HHR fan, so I can’t say much on that. I have the ati balancer and had to wait for a long time for the pulley from Doty Mfg. AndyF suggested getting ARP studs for the pump housing/motor plate hardware. I will not be using factory mounts
