I am thinking of pulling them back out and adding either lock washers or locktite. Thanks 1970 YO7 A66 [Canadian Export] F8 Challenger 340 (Currently in shop for stroker assy.)

Thanks They should have lockwashers , as far as huge clearance holes , no but the box walking around could make them bigger . I'd pull each one , clean the bolt and the hole with brake wash , blow them out then use red loctite and torque to spec .

It is hard to tell how long this box has been moving around on me and I don't want it to happen again. Thanks 1970 YO7 A66 [Canadian Export] F8 Challenger 340 (Currently in shop for stroker assy.)

When the previous owner had my GTX the box broke completely loose and he could only turn left. If he turned left the box wedged up against the frame if he turned right it walked over to the side of the block instead of movign the tires. The scary part is he drove it like that for abotu 2 months every day.

Thanks You should have much trouble getting that size bolt out with red in the future , breaker bar or impact gun .
