STB for LS Motor?
STB for LS Motor?
Hey all I am currently saving up some money to buy a lq9 and swapping LS goodies onto. Right now I am also rebuilding all my suspension and upgrading brakes and whatnot. I am wondering what everybody is running for a strut tower brace with an LS engine. If I'm not mistaken, the motor actually sits lower and farther into the engine bay than a sbc or tpi does right? So if this is the case, wouldn't any STB work? Anyways I'm looking more towards a Hotchkis or something around that design because I'm not taking too good of a liking to the edelbrock 3 pc. Anyways thanks in advance, and if you have any pics feel free to post them up and show off.

there is a picture of my edelbrock TPI 3 point. I actually had to elongate the holes and cut the tops off the mounts because it was too high for my SS hood. Fits like a charm.

Hey Steven, why did you mount the ecm by the overflow tank? move that thing under the dash or mount it under the seat or something
