    Does a SLP Strut Tower Brace (stb) fit a 98+ F-Body?

    Been searching around and ran across a couple of people who stated that the SLP stb fits on a v6 but no one stated which engine they had.

    Does it fit a L36 Series II? If so, does anyone have a picture?

      Yes, it fits cars with the L36 engine. I've had one on my car for years.

        do you have a picture of it? I want to see how it fits.

        by the way, the alternator doesn't get in the way?

          Sorry, no pic, but it simply bolts on using the shock mounting bolts (2 on each side). And it runs across the motor back behind the alternator so it doesn't get in the way. One of the easiest mods you can do.

            man, a picture would be great. I've seen SLP's strut tower brace and it looks like it would hit the alternator.

            is the bar slightly tilted further back or does it go straight across?

              The bar is shaped to bend and go back behind the alternator. Look around, you can probably find pics somewhere......

                does the bar look like this?

                    Thought so, that's a SLP strut tower brace as well. I'm guessing there is a different SLP strut brace for the 97 and before LT1s with a SS hood.

                      The one in the pic is listed on SLP's website, and it says it will only fit V8 cars.

                        Just get one from J&M, if you are so inclined toward a STB.

                          It's a toss up between J&M and BMR. I'm a fan of hammertone black so I'm waiting for a good sale.
