Default motor plates or solid mounts???

I have a BBC in a 48 Olds.I did the swap when I was in high school (my work from back then doesn't impress me now ops: )and used stock rubber truck engine mounts.It was a driver then and I didn't want the vibration.Now,the car is strictly drag.Haven't had any problems so far but I got the motor in crooked.Driver side is about 3/4" high and it bugs me.Been looking at that crooked sucker for 11 years and can't take it anymore.So,the easiest(cheapest) way out would be solid mounts but was wondering if there is any advantage to a motor plate??I have a stock rubber tranny mount now.Do I need a mid plate,too?How thick?Aluminum or steel?And my biggest concern,how much of a pain in the butt are they?Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.Thanks Eric
