Might anyone have a strut tower brace for a 2.3T, w/EFI and FMIC, of which they wouldn't mind selling? Thank you.

I've got one of the original J Bittle braces somewhere (previously owned) that bolts to the front of the front shock towers only. Goes across the top, front of the cam cover.
And a new one from someone that I've forgotten who made it - Griggs, Steeda, I don't recall. Mounts to the sides for the front shock towers and also the firewall vertical area. Supposed to clear the SVO charge cooler, but I never installed it way back when I had the stock cooler installed.
And you can save on shipping.
Ever get that cam installed?

Think I'd be interested in the 2nd one with the 3 point attachment. I'm still gathering the parts for my '82 GT T-Top redo from 5.0 to 2.3T, the cam should be part of that future "job" as well as the strut tower brace. Of late I grabbed an '86 SVO 2.3T from a local SAMC friend, he's redoing an '86 SVO for his wife including a brand new crate 2.0 eco-boost I4. I'm very interested in his project as his I4 2.0 started life as a front engine/front drive and will end up front eng/rear drive!
My latest project has been, and continues for a while yet, moving my 97 yo Mom out of her home of 45+ years to an assisted living facility, fixing up her home and selling it. Sadly, that forced me to selling my low miled '93 Cobra as Mom's shaded, locked carport was its private parking place. Sigh, almost like ripping your heart out.......
I've missplaced your e-mail addy to set up a date to grab the strut tower brace.....how much will I save on the shipping? BIG SMILE as it could be a good excuse to get the SVO out!!!

Mike, when/if you get chance to look at it, please post the brand here - I'll buy one new (if it's still made). I've been looking for one for years but all of those I have checked into will not fit around the stock SVO intercooler.
