440 mounted with a motor plate in a 67-69 Dart
There are some other advantages to using a motor plate. Like the motor not rocking back and forth when your on and off the gas. Thats 650+ lbs torqing it's way back and forth,not to mention the torque of the big block. Believe it or not it really makes it difficult to achieve a clean launch having all that weight and torque rocking the car. Even a street car would benefit. I have the shumacker mounts and will use em,but I figure a mid plate behind the motor and in front of the trans would help the rigitity of the car as well if it were tied into the firewall.
