P Zero

Blue, From what Ive seen theyre usualy 4 pieces. 2 U shaped brackets that go around the shaft, and 2 L shaped brackets to bolt to the frame/body.

Blink, I'm not sure if the 4point cage will handle all that power. I think ideally you should have an 8 or 10, that would eliminate almost all chassis flex. Definitly do the torque boxes, I had some let loose on my '79, pretty much ruined the whole car. Had to scrap it. Also, you might consider a strut tower brace and rear G-load brace. In addition to the cage, subframes, and re-inforced torque boxes, itll make your car solid as a rock.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh sh*t! You made me do all of that work for nothing!!! LoL JP! I think thats something you can go to a shop and have to just add more to it.

LoL I was wondering why you were asking about that conversion too
