Motor/Midplate- cost

What is a fair price to install a front motor plate and mid plate in Fox boday Mustang? Trying to get a idea of what kind of money I am looking at spending here.

Thanks.

Thats a pretty loaded question.

Is the car stripped down already? Do you have a block, oil pan and trans to mock eveything up?

And are you asking what it costs to pay someone else to do it or what it will cost for parts/material for you to do it?

The car is stripped down. I already have the front and mid plate. I dont not have a mock up block or tranny. I am looking for the cost of setting it up and welding the stuff in.

Thanks.

The setup will take longer than the actual welding itself. Welding will take about 10 or 20 minutes, setup could take a few hours or more, depending on where you want the engine located. Where are you located? Someone on here can probably steer you to a shop that is close and have reasonable rates.

The big cost is in the alignment and proper phasing.

You need a block and parts to do this properly.

The welding is peanuts.

I think Mike gets 75 and hour...... you need the block, heads, headers, tranny etc. And depends on how its mounted....... I know Mike puts tubing behind the firewall to mount the plate at the top as well..... I did both mine this way and its time consuming, so really its gonna be hard to give you a number.

Gonna depend a lot on the guy the does it and how he goes about it.

dfree.383 mentioned phasing.. I'm working on installing one of Keith's midplates in my Torino.. What is phasing?
