My only concern, and its prob unfounded, is that the plates provide good support if you load the top of the "box" but once you have a side load on them, there is nothing to stop them from bending/bowing. Obviously thats extreme to think they would visibly deform but I know how important belt alignment is with blower cars. So perhaps add some more support in the fashion of an X between the corners?
Just thinking out loud.

I see what you're saying. The easiest thing I can think of to do is add bars similar to the brackets we have on the G body alternators that tie the intake to the supercharger mounting plate. Do you think that would help?

A little more (less exciting) progress today. Transmission and driveshaft is in. I have ran the new fuel lines, but still need to put the tube nuts on and hook them to the tank. I have the new tank, fuel pump, and pickup ready to go in. Im waiting to install it until I get a nice day to por-15 the underside around the tank area. I also started the "alternator relocation mod" to see if I had had enough clearance and theres all kinds of room with the modified frame now. I threw a belt on for an idea of routing. I believe I will add an idler where the bolt goes that ties the throttle body plate to the accessory bracket to give a little more clearance between the belt. Here are some pics.

Thanks man. I've been trying really hard to make the march 24th deadline. The header snafu kind of took the wind out of my sails. It was rainy and cold and I just couldn't spend anymore time out there today. Hoping to have the new headers in Wednesday and possibly the radiator and hoses.
