Before installing the motor plate section of McLeod's beefy scattershield, we cut 1-1/4 inch off the bottom flange, and took a corresponding amount off the bellhousing to maintain our lowered Camaro's ground clearance. We used a 168-tooth steel flywheel to allow the use of a 12-inch clutch, but this necessitated changing to a large-flywheel starter. McLeod recommends a bullet-nose type as a guard against jamming. Note that a pre-creased part of the plate must be knocked out to accommodate the starter.
