I thought I had a picture with measurements that one of the members posted of their motor plate but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, if anyone has one I could really use it. Guy at work said he'll cut it on the laser machine just need the dimensions. Trying to think if theres anything else I need cut.
Thank you,
~Nick
 
Sorry, if you happen to have both that would be great otherwise, the front is what I am looking for.
Thanks
 
Maybe you could call Mancini Racing, Magnum Force Racing, Campbell Enterprises,
or some other place that sells them,
here's what they show on Mancini's site, sorry no real dimensions thou

mid plates are .250" {1/4"} in T6 6061 aluminu
or mid plates are usually 0.090" to 1.25" {1/8"} thick in steel
most front Motor Plates are 0.250" {1/4" thick} T6 6061 {7075} by about 36" wide,
that will generally need to be trimmed/cut/drilled to fit,
exactly to your specific chassis {stock or modified frame rails}
& to crank centerline needs or offsets etc.

Thought I had the dimensions on file but no can find. I can do a tracing on the ones I have and send it to you.....
 
Here are some pics of my plate. It is about 35 inches wide overall and accommodates the factory engine offset to keep things aligned. I like this one as both 'ears' are connected making installation a whole lot easier. The round thingie is a spacer for the crank pulley, to make it easier to get the pullies to align.
