Anyone with a Maximum Motorsports STB, got a Q

You guys might have an easier time fitting it into the 5.0 cars...my TC has so much  running right along the top of the firewall pinchweld (wiring harness, vac lines etc) that it makes the firewall bolts really hard to get at.

I had to take a bench grinder to my KB brace for that pesky location too...ground off a few mm of material and it bolted up nicely.  Should be the same trick for your brace.

Good luck.

im in the middle of putting the MM stb in now. that passanger side needs to be ground down and the bottom of the CC plate where the bolts are welded... that gets in the way of the strut tower brace top bolt so im going to maybe have to redrill that. that one bolt is real close to the spacer, but it fits... bairly. tho i may have to redrill so i dont run into the bolt plate under the strut.
