440 mounted with a motor plate in a 67-69 Dart

Not picking a fight, but what exactly are the problems? I have plated the last 2, and won't even consider any other option. If I had to run A/C, maybe I would have to do something else, maybe not, never tried it. I love the simplicity, ease of installment, and strength. I've never busted a motor plate, but I've ripped up plenty of stock mounts. I like the look too.


I have never run one but have heard of problems with alternators, and other components, not to mention the vibration. If you run a Milodon gear drive which has its own cover (1/4" thick ) and then add plate thickness and a electric wp may have problems with fan and radiator. I would agree with you on the mounts but not the through bolt one's used with the DC K. I run a DC K with through bolts and a torque strap, best way IMO.
