Finaly EXPORT BRACE UPDATE!!!!!! I have the first production export brace in hand. The rest of the run is being welded up. This one I have in hand has just got a quickie rattle can paint job. The others will be powdered coated black. I will keep a few uncoated for those that want to get it chromed. I am taking orders for these now. See my ad in the parts for sale section.
Dave I think it will fit. It is only 1-3/4" into the engine bay from the folded seam at the leading edge of the cowl. Let me know how far from that point your manifold is, please.
I have the 5.0L the intake plenum is very similar and the original braces go right down the middle. the only part, when I was thinking about fabing them to work, was about 1/4 of an inch on the outside edge... not enough for me to take the time.. too weak.. so unless you really rounded them out there is no hope for any motor with and EFI getting theses braces....
How much for the shock towers brace? Also will or can you make braces for the guys that have completely eliminated their shock towers?
