drop a plumb line off the front of your crank, trans tail shaft, then center of the pinion

I'd use just the midplate, its going to be thicker than the factory blockplate anyway. Make sure the converter spacing is ok.

Glad you was able to get a new plate made, I knew it wouldn't be a big step for a high stepper!

Note to everyone else: I am a fault for his first midplate. I had trimed it to fit my turbo Mustang build, as my headers where facing foward so I never looked at mid plate clearance for regular headers.

I tried to keep mine to where both ears would bolt at the frame rail area/height. The driver's side is like this, but the pass side is like yours. I'll end up with the midplate bolting to the frame brackets about 3-4" higher than the framerail.
