How do you seal a front motor plate on a big block ford? I'm using a ATI mid plate but there is still enough chassis flex to cause a problem.
Do you use a gasket or just a sealer?
Or is something out there I might not know about?
Please email me at fordpower514@hotmail.com
Thanks for your help-

Do you have a limiter bar going from the block to the frame diagonaly to keep the engine from moving back and forth??

No I don't, do you think thats all I need?

I would install one and see what happens. Motor plates hold the engine verticaly but there is nothing to keep the engine from going back and forth front to rear and this could be flexing enough to make things leak
