Well, there aren't any made for our cars However, the Jamex happens to fit really well, so I'm guessing that any made for a V8 TPI will fit...but nobody's tried. The Jamex fits really well and clears by at least an inch on my car. Another guy posted and his cleared less, but he then found out it's adjustable.


There was a huge clearance about 2 months ago of Jamex STB's for $30. I'm not sure if the guy has any left, but you can check by doind a search for Jamex STB on here, and someone will have his email posted.

:hail: Jamex STB :lala: :lala:

I got my STB from BMR Fabrication. I have a 2 point brace just as you mentioned. It is designed for the TPI motor, so it didn't bolt right on out of the box. If you don't have A/C it might bolt right on, but if you do, I had to have shims fabricated for each side to raise it up just a bit to clear the TB and the A/C. Attached is a picture of the STB. If you would like a picture of the shim, lemmie know.

Fiream, go to the suspension/chassis/brakes board, and do a search for "edelbrock" - they make a 3point STB that guys with carb's have put on. Seems it's one of the few that clears the carb'd intake. You should find pictures on that forum; I know they've been posted plenty of times.

See Tom, thats the guy I was telling you about, WWasam, that's his name, he put that BMR STB on there, you probally don't remeber, but oh well.

You asked about that on my "Plans for Fall Project" Post. I want the three piont, and if comes down to removing the A/C, then so be it...
