Ok so thinking thru this a little more I would want the center stepped down like a well. Therefore allowing the lower bolts to be below the platform.
And I think Old'scool was trying to tell me it was a stupid idea.
That said I think I just convinced myself that the Bay Manufacturing extension is going to be mandatory, been hoping not to have to modify the engine. Doing all this and then swamping the engine would not be good at all.
