Motor plate & mid plate... any photos?

The Leal / California Flash/ Hemi Duster has both....elephant ears and mid plate. I am with the understanding the mid plate was critical to speed up removal of the transmission / clutch / flywheel for service. The mid plate mounting pieces pictured attach to brackets added to the block scatter shield. That way, everything behind the shield can be removed while everything forward can stay in place.

That was definitely a benefit. Many years ago I helped a friend with his race car with a motor/mid plate. When I first helped him he had a 11000 rpm SBC with a stick behind it. We spent lots of time pulling the trans for various reasons...mid plate sure did makes this easy.
