Anyone sell a brace that will clear a 351 with Trickflow Box R on top??? I figure not....But what has everyone else done to solidify things under the hood.

I have MM XXL Sub frame connectors already but want to tighten up my car as much as possible seeing how i have a convertible and all. I have access to a welder and can outsource metal tubing bout wouldn't mind spending money on a good quality part if available.

Thanks in advance once again guys.

Most of the aftermarket strut tower braces circle in front of the intake, which gets rid of the clearance issues on the front of the intake. Still might not clear the throttle body though. I cut my Steeda strut tower brace on the passenger side, raised it up, and welded another piece of steel in there so that it would clear the throttle body when I had a spacer on the intake.
