Calling the rigidity experts....
I've got a solid '75, converted to SBC and I've already got the inner long kit and steel GT flares ready to be installed. This is a daily driver, pressed hard (track and mountain roads) occasionally. I don't want a cage or roll bar, but I'd like the car to stay together over time. I've heard that the standard GT chassis kit doesn't really address the proper issues in the engine compartment area, and that the box arm stiffners aren't worth the weight. What alternatives are available for the GT chassis kit that will get the job done right? With a V8, 200# rears and 9x16 fuchs on 1 inch spacers, is the box arm kit justified? Thanks in advance...

Kind of shocked that there's no mention of Brad Mayeur's outer long reinforcement kit. I've got one on my '73 (PO was going to go V8), and it's stiffer than wedding day dic....uh..it's pretty rigid! It's not light, but if you're going V8 what's 15 - 20 lbs? I think the combo of Brad's and Marks (Engman) would make the car as stiff as possibly be without going "cage".
