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.
