Mid Plate Installation Suggestions
A mid engine mounting plate installs between the back of the engine block and the transmission bellhousing. The outer edges of the mid motor plate are then attached to the frame rails, usually by being bolted to "L" tabs that are welded onto the frame rails. The mild steel mid plate is thin enough that it does not generally require any changes on the torque converter. The thicker aluminum mid mount plates require that spacers or washers be used where the flexplate mounts to the converter or the tabs on the converter can be made thicker by most converter manufacturers. If you plan on using a mid plate, let your converter supplier know and they can make any changes required. In some cases the center of the converter hub needs to be extended to insure that it still centers in the back of the crankshaft properly. Any excess material on the mid plate that you do not need can be trimmed off.
