hey guys well i recently got access to welding equipment so i wanna make as much stuff for my car as possible, anyone have the mesurements on a stb for a carb'd 350 and a fuel injected 6?

thanks

 

sorry i don't have the measurements, i'd just pull a tape on my car.

 

best way is to measure for your exact car.

 

alright guys thats what i'll end up doing

 

after you get done you might want to ocme back and post any info you have for someone doing a search that comes across this thread.

 

for sure ,i'd love too i'll probably get around to it later this month as i'm working alot

 

I am also considering this, But Where should I measure from and to? And also What materials will be needed?

 

measure from the strut tower over to the other strut tower, you'll need some 1 inch round pipe or a peice of steel and possibly some brackets depending on how you want to set it up

 

heres a couple pics of the one i m ade. took me about an hour and a half-2 hours start to finish. i used 2/16 thick plate for the brackets and i used 1 inch square tubing for the rest.

 

another...

 

i need to pull it back off, clean it all up and paint it but its looknig good for now

 

did u bend it or cut and weld the two pieces for the long bar

 

i tryed to bend it but i don't have a tubing bender and its too think to bend without one so i cut it bent it after the cut and welded it back up

 

Would a tubular or square design be stronger?

 

Is it better to bolt the STB to the brackets or make a soilid design? It seems like the bolts would start to get loose after a while.

 

all STBs are bolted....you need to be able to take it off too... lol.

 

What I ment was, The brackets that you bolt on to the main STB brace ( The part that bolts onto the tower) is it better to bolted or welded. I know that if it was bolted then it wold be easier to fit.

I also have another question. How far should the brace sit above the plenum.
