strut tower brace for carb

I am getting ready to swap my 305 tpi for 350 with an edelbrock. It's dyno'd at 325 hp at the fly, so im wanting to stregthen up the chassis a little bit at least. I was thinking about a strut tower brace for now but the only ones i can find are for the tpi's. Where can i find one the will accept a carb?

Yeah i was thinking that i could just get one for a tbi, but i was looking through summit. i guess ill try jegs. Also, i know this has nothing to do with a strut tower brace, but could someone tell me or show me where i could find all gear ratios for a borg-warner t-5?

Does anyone make one for an AC compressor on driver’s side?? I have seen pictures of a 3 point STB that connected to the radiator support it was specifically for carbureted cars but I cant remember who made it does anyone know?
