Yes that’s me. I used the Hamb post for some of the measurements and the basic idea. I didn’t care for how far forward the mounts were from the engine bolts but understood it was done that way to reach the original crossmember. I originally was not going to add a mid plate so I was concerned about stress on the bellhousing. I did end up adding a mid plate too.
