Reply to "Engine mount plates ??"

The early pushbutton motors sat lower and closer to the frame. So much so that if you wanted to remove the header bolt on the #4 cylinder, there was no room to get to it unless you either jack up the motor or do it with the engine out. I've seen them with a slight relief on the frame to make future service to the passenger side header easier.

If it's not a jacking plate, it may well be a spacer to raise the motor a little so there is no need to notch the frame.
