Brace bars & engine mounts?
Alright well while me & kris were scoping out the Bonneville inside-out today, we both came across something that we are both curious about. Does anyone sell brace bars or engine mounts like what I have on the Monte for Bonnevilles? I know the STB is out there but I'm just talking about the 4 I have in the following pic.
Kind of a crappy angle but I think you guys know what I'm talking about. By the looks of the Bonns engine bay setup, if the brace bars & all do exist, they wouldn't exactly be like mine.
Anyone have any idea if they exist or not?
Thanks!

No, there are no brace bars sold. The reason the W body cars got them is because the motor mounts to the radiator support and the support needs the added structure to hold the motor. The Bonneville'* have all their mounts down low and the subframe takes care of all the support.
My Bonneville has less engine movement than a full poly W body.
