you can take a chance on that brace, but i ordered one and it wouldnt clear the plenum. i tried it on both our cars. so thinking i just got a bad one, that was bent wrong, they had me return it and sent me another one just last week. same thing. shame too, it was a nice looking brace and a good price. they show one on a v6 motor in the customer pics too. the people making them need to do some redesigning or qaulity control work. you might want to hold off on that brace for a while.they will probably get it straightened out. i`m returning the 2nd one tues and i have the shelby brace coming tues also.ive seen cheaper ones on ebay, and ive heard ford has one for aorund 50.00 but i dont know the details. in this pic its sitting in place on the pass side and you can see how far up its sitting on the bolts on the dr side. the motor has to have a little room to move.
ya, washers would not have worked. i looked at any way i could to fabricate it to make it work, but there wasnt any way to do it. that bar needs to go back to the drawing board.
after just adding a strut bar, i totaly disagree this time. i`m doing a post on it.
