Mid Plate Longhorn 1in Raised

The Mid Plate Longhorn 1in Raised by PPM Racing Products is a precision-engineered motor plate designed for serious performance enthusiasts who demand maximum engine bay clearance and optimized power transfer geometry. This raised motor mount platform exists to solve a critical problem faced by modified vehicle builders: preventing engine sag, reducing harmonics, and creating the ground clearance necessary for aggressive intake, fuel system, and turbo configurations. Whether you're building a street performance machine or preparing for track duty, this component directly impacts engine positioning and drivetrain efficiency.

At 2.65 lbs and measuring 26.7 inches in length with a 0.3-inch profile thickness, the Mid Plate Longhorn 1in Raised provides the structural rigidity required to maintain engine alignment under acceleration loads while the one-inch raised design lifts the engine block away from the factory position. This elevation is critical when installing forced-induction systems, high-flow exhaust manifolds, or custom cooling solutions that would otherwise interfere with stock motor mounts. The longhorn configuration distributes mounting loads across an extended footprint, reducing stress concentration and vibration transmission into the chassis frame while maintaining factory bolt patterns for straightforward installation.

This motor plate benefits turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated builds alike, particularly those with custom headers, intake manifolds, or repositioned fuel systems requiring additional clearance. Installation is direct for most platforms compatible with PPM Racing Products engine management solutions—verify your specific vehicle model and engine bay layout to ensure fitment with auxiliary components. Professional mechanics typically pair this raised plate with polyurethane or solid motor mounts to minimize vibration while locking in the performance geometry gains. The 1-inch elevation consistently improves intake flow dynamics and reduces exhaust thermal soak in the engine bay, delivering measurable gains in cooling efficiency and consistent air charge temperature across throttle applications.
