I own a 1977 Chevy caprice classic 2 dr coupe. My question concerns the 2 brackets bolted to the frame and extend to the front engine crossmember. There is one on each side consisting of heavy tubular rods measuring 3/4" diameter. approx. 201/2" long and are attached at each end with 5/8"-grade 8 bolts w/7/16" nuts.
I removed the factory 305 engine and installed a mildly modified 454 engine backed with a 700R4 tranny and a posi tract rear end out of a 95 caprice car. I installed long tube headers and these braces on the front that I described above were removed because they interfered with these headers.
Will this present a problem down the road with my car.What is the technical name for these braces.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
