Quote: You can talk about effectiveness until your blue in the face, I agree moving it up would help, getting it closer to the pinch weld, and help clear the distributor. Another thing is the effectiveness with the coilovers vs T-bars.
There are a lot of constraints here also... The engine brace was design to fit a variety of engine, induction, and brake combinations. It was designed to fit big block, and 426 hemi cars and the main focus is of course the GenIII hemi's. Along with that is was made to clear the distributors of the big blocks and Hemi's, along with the piston AC compressors. It also clears the BB fresh air, air cleaner as well as the HEMI vacuum booster.
That's a lot of stuff to deal with!!!
And again, these were all tested on the rig and verified. So we can sit back in our chairs and say change this or change that, but everything has a cause and an effect and modeling everything the way they did, came up with the best overall solution.
If the chassis stiffness package wasn't so effective, people probably wouldn't be trying to copy it...
