( what a pig ) I didnt shoot it yet. Im also in the process of building an IA-2 that will go in next season. Im currntly deciding on which way to go with this motor as far as combination. Ill need to buy better cylinder heads for it also as my Edelbrocks wont fit the bill. This car is a complete street legal car not a stripped out shell type race car.
Apache Warrior, Id like to share some info on your engine install. Youd be better off mounting the front of the engine with a full one piece motor plate accross the front of the engine either behind the timing cover or water pump. And the use of a mid plate between the engine and trans. Your looking for trouble mounting to the cylinder heads. You dont want to be putting undo stress on the head bolts. Your head gaskets will fail. Dont use solid motor mounts or it will crack and fail the #2 main. Please veiw this as constructive criticism Im trying to help. Scott.

Thanks - I do not have solid mounts and the cylinder heads are studded.
The individual engine plates should be fine - the gentelman who fabbed them has them on many other customers cars with success.
