Maybe...Not 100% sure Mike. If he did one, it was one off and before he started producing them for the masses.

The sub-frame really opens things up for headers.

Surprised you got it so quickly.

Thoughts on fitment in first gen with Pontiac power?

Folks - first time commenting in here. I wanted to check if anyone has used the smith racecraft front end in a 67-69 with a Pontiac power plant? Did you fab your own motor plates? Any issues?

Thanks!

I used their BBC plate overlayed on the All Pontiac mid plate to match up the mounting holes and trimmed to fit the chassis. I am in the process of making a front plate right now since it will be a turbo setup with front facing headers (probably). For rear facing headers there are options from All Pontiac.

Mine for a 1st gen was 43 lbs lighter than the stock one just subframe to subframe.
