I am thinking of using 2 of the oil pan bolts for mounting the plate. I also think I could use the header fiberglass wrap around the plate to stop heat soak. I need to find a suitable strength of sheet or expanded aluminum for the plate and then go from there. I'll post pics if/when I do this.

Here's another option.

I applied a heat barrier shield on the bottom of my oil pan.
It's a self-adhesive insulating and heat reflective barrier. Easy to apply with the headers off but may still be possible with the headers on.
I can't report any oil temperature reductions for the oil pan insulation because I also ceramic coated the headers, the pistons and the combustion chambers at the same time.
