Default torque link finally here!

got my torque link in the mail today. $42.99 including shipping. no more slamming my motor on my hood every time i womp on it at the track. with the stock 2.73's and tires that dont even hook i managed to put a couple gouges in my manifold and underside of the hood. now with 3.73's and slicks on the way, this link will be much needed. my girlfriend's dad used to race way back when (about 30 years ago). said he had a car that when racing he ripped the engine off the drivers side motor mount on two separate occasions. dont wan that to happen to me.

6 inches of chain at the local hardware store accomplishes the same thing and cost about $41 less. But thats just an FYI, I chain all my hotrods on the drivers side for torque over and because I've had a motor come through the hood lol its not fun.

Thanks.
