I have built up a big HP 383 SBC for the GTS and was wondering if any one had any suggestions for getting the power to the ground in a HT Monaro.
I was thinking of boxing the front end between the Y frames of the front end. But was hoping some one could steer me in the right direction in how to stiffen the body.
My old HK Monaro with a 350 used to rip engine mount apart with ease. Body twist was a major problem with that car.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers for that Dr Terry.
I will look at the engine mounts this time around.
The main reason I was thinking of boxing the Y section was the outer legs have been repaired due to being thin from rust. Should have also mentioned that.
The legs were not
