Subject: Motor Plate Author: Bill [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:25:47 12/14/04 Tue Here are two pics of the motor plate. The plate comes as an unfinished rectangle and will need to be cut to length. The final plate install will be one of the last things to do. The finished position will revolve around where the motor wants to sit for best header and distributor clearance. This was fairly easy to do with a floor jack under the oil pan and one under the trans pan. I could move the whole assembly in any direction, up or down and any angle. Put something flat between the jack and the pans so you don't crush them. Notice the header clearance on the passenger side. Plenty of room.

[> Subject: Re: Motor Plate Author: Stroken331 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:33:30 10/14/05 Fri If anyone is looking for some custom built headers to fit either the AJE k-member or the PA Racing k-member give Tim at the Fab Shop a call. We ordered a set a couple of weeks ago and they were here within a week. We ordered up a set of 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 step headers and they are absolutley awesome and fit like a glove. Here is his website http://www.thefabshopheaders.com/ Headers custom built for the swap are $750. They include gaskets that are guaranteed not to leak as well...Give him a call and he will set you up. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Motor Plate Author: Todd [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:17:41 12/14/05 Wed Yes, use the sbc headers for the S10. With a minor modification to the firewall and a slight adjustment to the steering rod, they work just fine. A little tight for the spark plugs, but they DO work. We have them on my 87 convertable.
