After some cursory checking of my shock towers, I've noticed a lot of stress indications on them from hard use.
My suspension is 650# springs, sway bars 1" in front and 3/4" in rear, h/d springs in back. I also use an export brace (factory type) and a stainless steel 1 1/4 inch monte carlo bar that I fabbed up myself. Subframe connectors and a 4 point cage.
The car has always run a cleveland of some sort until recently when I've been converting to a 302/289 setup.
So...
I've heard and read about the braces on hipo car's shock towers, but never really looked into it. And I'm thinking now's a good time, with the engine out of the car, to beef it up a bit.
Ideas?
