GT500 strut tower brace

[Performance nut]

Has anyone gotten a closer look at the GT500 strut tower brace to see if it will fit on Coyote applications? For example a 5.0 with a Whipple or CJ?

Took these photos at Barrett Jackson because I had similar thoughts. At first glance it appears it might fit, but the engine itself also appears lower than ours(could just be an optical illusion).

Is that a hood prop coming off the left end of it?

Sure looks like it.

It is, no regular prop rod finally. Let's hope this brand new style of innovation trickles down for the rest of us one day!

I just looked at multiple CJ installs and it looks like those who lowered their engines got the top of their intakes at the same height as this STB. From the looks of it and without an actual STB, I'd say chances are you cannot use this with a CJ intake.

It may not fit the stock hood.

It may not fit the stock hood.

Been wondering about this. $1400 for the brace too. If it fits stock hood and a CJ I'd do it as I'm about to order the CJ.

CJ doesn't clear with out motor mounts or notching the hood

1400 for the brace? What rare mineral is it made of?

Magnesium

Yes, that's well known. I'm referring to if it sits low enough with the lowered motor mounts for the brace to clear the CJ and fit under the stock '18+ hood.

Thats a nice brace. I'd say 100 dollars worth of square tubing and a few hours welding will replicate it.

From what i can see this one also replaces the the two steel firewall braces no? So should be a lot lighter.

Anyone ever fond out if it fits under the stock hood and/or over a s550 supercharger?
