With the early Lakewoods you could have purchased a block plate that only extended a little past the bottom of the pan rail. It wasn't a full circle like the one pictured above that bolted to the can at the bottom. I always hated how NHRA changed the rules and wanted me buy to a new scattershield that didn't have the bottom opening. That was about the same time I switched to a glide, and those rules were just one more reason that I did. As I recall the first Lakewood part number with the bottom hole was 15000, and it still had holes in the bellhousing where you could bolt brackets for 55-56-57 type mounts.
