I got a question for you guys. I had a 86 GT. As I was racing, I bent the frame. Apparently, when the engine rocks back and forth it took a toll on my 16 years old frame. And it bent it. So I traded it in for 98 GT. Now I am wary about bending it again. So I am going to put a roll bar and sub-frame connector.

Does anyone know where I can get a engine strap? And where the good place to strap it to? I hear this takes a load off of the passenger side engine mount so that it doesn't bend the frame.
Please HELP.......

BTW, that 86 was a stock motor.
Thanks in advance..

Bent in Chicago,
