Not that everyone may know, but that which has been discussed in the past. It was noted that the UR front strut tower bar would not fit as long as you were using the NGM stage 4 upper intake manifold with the 70mm BBTB. I cannot be sure who noted this without doing a search, but it seems that I am in luck. My UR front strut tower bar fits over top the butterfly counterweight on the 70mm BBTB. It clears it by 1/16 of an inch. I tested it on closed to full throttle and while the engine was running to see if vibration would affect it. Nada, works like a charm. I am however using a solid mount on the rear and a poly mount on the front. The only thing that I am worried about is if the bar would flex downward for any reason, especially if one side or another would drop off seperately. To fix this, a slight, small, broad halfmoon shape can be notched in the bar above the counterweight, about a 1/4 inch in depth, and a piece of shaped steel tig welded to close up the opening. This would solve the problem and regain structural strength back to the bar. I will see how this goes the way I have it now. Until later updates.
