Has anybody used or seen Edelbrocks Subframe connectors P/N 5291? I did a search and it seems like everyone loves the Global West Connectors. Edelbrocks seem to be equal, plus some, in design. Both tubular, both have seat brackets (west's are extra), but the pads on the end of the Edel's are shaped exactally to our sub frame. The fwd side actually wraps around the frame and is welded on 3 sides!!

You should look at Laurel Mountain Mustang's Subs, for $81.95 they are better than MM ones because of the torque box reinforments.

Damn! Now I find out! Just days after I welded in some MMs...

I wonder if I could just add the torque box pieces??

Those are just like the Steeda full lengths. The torque box piece goes under the connector. Might be a pain to get on there now, probably not really worth it.

The TQ box pieces are to strengthen the area where the welds will be, Edelbrock's come with a custom shaped plate welded to the connector. This plate increases the weld surface and increases strength. I think they have gone unnoticed and are really nice pieces!?

Rats! Oh well... I really noticed a difference from the MMs. Guess I'll have to live with it.

Now on to my Bullit kit ....
