Found a crack on my frame just above trans x-member
i plan on taken a loan for $4000 to put a 400 and some other goodies in my car, and my qustion is if a put a 400 with aprox 420 hp and 460 lbs of torque would the x-member rip the fram, leaving my car unrepairalble and wortless. i was think ing of haveing a metel "patch" welded in to strenthin it.
thanx

never had it on a dyno but desk top dyno says the 355 i built for my sons camaro makes that much, or more and it hasn't happened to him yet. i'd weld the crack and maybe plate over it, should be fine for years to come if you repair it.
