Monte Carlo Bar(If suspension is the wrong place please move this post)

[dbc105]

I was given a Monte Carlo Bar for a 5.0 I would like to put on my SVO. Of course it doesn't fit because of the valve cover. It is my hope someone on here has one and can post a pic of it installed so I can see how to modify mine such it looks like any other that you would have bought and installed.

Thanks,
DC

Probably of no help, and not a Monte Carlo bar, but a SVO-specific STB is on our 86. See post 302 in this thread:

One thing of note is that the strut tower mounts extend the bar forward in the engine compartment probably 6" from where most V8 STBs are on a Fox body.

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed. I can modify it so it goes over the cam cover like this picture, I've not yet decided about the intercooler so I may have to mod the rear braces also if I leave the stock intercooler.

Do you have any good suggetions on under hood wiring? A lot of mine is hard and brittle and coming apart in places. I talked ot Kendal Coker and he said I would likely have to cut back to the connectors and just splice in new wire. If I can find out what Mustangs are the same or at least close I might be able to get something to work with from the Pull-a-Part.
