got the race brace in today and peddles mounted
Image
toyota supra carrier
Image
Image
Image
I got these for the front but the a-arm design was going to be way to long 126in wheelbase. with the beam it should be 106 in. So i"m going to use them on the rear, if they hold up.
Image
about ready to set the engine up and start making mounts

If I hadn't set up my bumper to be removable I would have welded my beam in also. I think its more secure and if properly braced should not be any more prone to bending than any other tube.

The v6 is only 200 hp but the torque is what counts its 265.

And yes I thought about a v8 but the weight versus power and torque and money didnt seem worth it , in stock form that is.
If or when i do an upgrade it will be a turbo suby or an all aluminum v8 , maybe when the kids get grown lol..
