Thanks guys for the input.
Charlie - I would like to see a picture of one of those OE braces as I have never seen one on a car.
Cleaned up a little in the engine bay...still some wiring to be dealt with at some point. Looks like we are still on for the Saturday Combo race at Bowling Green. I'll be running the Camaro and will make a pass in the Mustang to verify it's safety before turning it over to Kenny for the remainder of the evening.
We decided to just run the Mustang Saturday evening in the fun races so I can attempt to dial in a tune it likes. Once sorted out I'll bring it back for some Combo action. Kenny will be driving this one at the Hot Rod Reunion in June.
