Thats actually the old plate off of our 600" motor. The mountain motor got a CNC machined, profiled plate.
Nothing like a machined edge all the way around a plate.

This is what I have on mine. Pretty simple and small. I've seen some nice ones that really looked cool. While I've never had an issue with this one, my next build will be something with a bit more substance.

BUMP lol. It looks like everyone is using aluminum? Anyone ever successfully used 1/4" mild steel for the front? I found that someone sells mild steel mid plates also. Any good?

Aluminum is a little more flexible then mild steel and lighter in my opinion.It also needs to be flexible under a load.

Yea, I'd like to see some small blocks with alternator mountings. I'm having a real tough time trying to fit an alternator on my motor plated small block in a 71 Demon.

Bill I have seen them in person. Use the motor plate as the swivel point for the alternator. Then use a turnbuckle with two eye hooks as the adjustment. Then you have to make some homemade spacers to align it to the water pump pulley.

the alt is a GM single wire, simple and easy and charges at idle. Here are some pics.
Its simply a 7/16 grade 8 ready rod mounted through both upper motor mount holes, alternator drilled to 7/16 nuts on either side of alt to adjust depth/belt alignment and the belt adjuster is simply a turn buckle from a hardware store for $5.00.

Ink, Could you PM those pics to me. Thanks, Bill S.
1971 Demon 440 with Mancini # MRE-AR1999 motor-plate. A low bracket is welded to frame and the forward strut bar has a bracket welded to it to tie down the motor. We are trying some polyurethane bushings to reduce vibration. Let me know what you think. Think I should add a torque strap to the back of the engine. lol Give people looking something to think about. lol
