I just finished swaping a 3800 s/c motor into my cavalier.
The only problem i have is strength to the radiator support.
How much force is put on to the dogbone supports?
The cavalier rad support is much thiner and skinnyer than on a grandprix.
I have already twisted the support once with a peice of angle iron 1/8" thick accross the width of the support. I added 2 bars from the strut towers to the dogbone mounts on the motor. Will this be sufficiant to hold the torque.
Mods that I have are acustom pcm, 3.25 MPS, intense stage1X cam, and slp headers. I plan on doing more mods so this needs to be supported good.
This car will eventualy run in the 10s. Any ideas will help.
