Drill a hole in both the frame and new plate for the shock stud to pass through and attach the 3x3 plate with grade 8 bolts and call it done.
Sure won't hurt anything having a reinforcement.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
