I wanted to bring this topic up one last time. Did all 318, 340, and 360 cars come with these engine to bell struts ( braces)? Was it just the automatic cars? Was it dependent on whether it was a B-body, e-body or A-body? Did the 1970 - 71 cars have them? I remember them being on my 74 auto Charger but not on my 71 manual trans e-body car.
