Default Shock tower adaptation?

Has anyone running a late model fuel injected 5.0 attempted to adapt a Fox Body strut tower brace to their classic?

The next question would be...why? It's much easier to either buy a tubular style brace or build one yourself. There are plenty of options out there for EFI configurations.

"Easier to build one yourself".......LOL!!! That's a good one!! Some of us are NOT fabricators. The Total Control brace I looked at said it would not work with an EFI plenum........and I've seen no others. Would you know of other offerings? I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction.....so far I've come up empty besides the TC setup.

As to why? Because I was curious, why else?

The geometry for a fox body is way off of what you'd need for a '68.

That's the easiest solution, assuming you can't find someone to fab something up for you with tubing and rod ends.
