“LXT” Mastersbilt

not afraid to use it and the plasma cutter

Try adding a brace from the RF shock area to the right head on the motor and see if that helps and or make a bolt in left upper rail like masterbilt_racers car and see if that helps

You can make life easier for yourself by short cutting both of those for a temporary trial

LF bar: use a couple wieght clamps and use a piece of tubing 1.25 or 1.5 and weld slugs or nuts on the end for 1/2" rod ends. That bar is usually bent some but you may be able to use a straight bar if you go right next to the LF mount.

RF to head: Same deal weld a tab on upper rail and run 2 tie rods to it, one from the lower head bolt and the other to the higher one to make a triangle. Easier then a plate and will tell you if that helps without a ton of work. Those could be smaller 3/8 rod ends and some alum tubes or make some out of small diameter steel tubing with nuts welded to it to make a tie rod bar. Put one rod end on each side of the welded on tab on frame.

that is exactly what i was going to do. clamp them in to see if it does what it should.

For those who are interested......theres a couple of backyard mechanics called Late Model Garage, that bought the kit from Masters and put it in themselves. Seemed fairly easy and turned out nice!

That rf to the head is an old Bill Frye deal, I'd say it is 25 years old but it worked!

Why not just run an engine plate at front of engine too?

Why not just run an engine plate at front of engine too?

Mostly due to different engine combo's. You would likely need several plates if you have different motor combo's, due to different deck heights and various cylinder head combo's. The rod end deal is easy, simple and easily adjustable.

Frye used to have one on all his cars that I can remember way back to 94/95ish that I recall

As a side note:

I really don't expect justadddirt to come back and say it's fixed his issue. May notice a change but doubt it cures his car from this alone.
