I have looked at it before & came uo with no good idea what to attach the plates to on a small block

I've never used motor plates, but it seems to me that the cost would end up being more than the Schumacher mounts in the long run.

The small block plates are close to the same money because they fit between the water pump and timing cover on them. Much more material and much more time to manufacture. Buy the schumachers, or if you have a welder, fab up something of your own, but make sure the engine is positioned correctly or nothing header/exh wise will fit right.

I would go with the Schumacher mounts over the motor plate any day.  The plate itself might be cheaper than the mounts, but then you still need some sort of mount for the plate, and now you are running into the problem of lining everything up correctly.  If you are even just a little bit off on the angles, then parts will wear improperly.
