Motor plates
I am new to this scene mainly because I build street cars. I am curious of the various motor plate setups offered for pontiacs. All Pontiac has a front and mid plate arrangement I am looking at. Any thoughts?

I also use one of their front plates only on my wife's car with the stock motor mounts just to give a little more support on the block and to act as a torque limiter instead of using chains, turnbuckles, straps, etc.

Any decent custom water jet business can cut you exactly what you need.

I went with elephant ears instead of a front motor plate. I have a poly trans mount, and two limiters on the front of the engine. No mid-plate.

Thanks every one for the input, we are going to most likely run the all Pontiac setup. If not I am not opposed to making my own.

I've seen your '65 at the Del Mar Goodguys show. VERY nicely done! I may borrow your idea for the steering linkage. Did you have any issues with it?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
