i've seen numerous engine bays with a number of different support braces in them. does anyone have a factory 289/302 engine bay shot so i can see the support braces i need?

edit: will the 2 strut tower braces for the i6 be sufficient?

 

what year?

 

my bad, 67 i6

 

Well it's not original... but the bracing isn't to different.



The one in the front is not standard. The one that goes from shocktower to shocktower in the back is actually two pieces in the stock form. The stock bracing should work great for you with a I6.

 

Damn Clutch, that looks sweet!

 

Thanks VF! Took me 5 weeks.

 

I'll be adding the export brace and the Monte Carlo bar to mine shortly. The two piece shock tower to cowl will probably be just fine for the I6 though. The Monte Carlo straight bar will work well instead of using the curved bar as Clutch has. He has the oval air cleaner, so has to use that one to clear the cleaner.

 

i'm dropping in a 289 tho

 

I thought the export brace and the fender tower to cowl is the same thing Glen?

 

No, the export brace is one piece, whereas the shock tower to cowl is actually 4 pieces. Remember when I was corrected by Nick?
