Why are  you folks reinforcing the frames of TR3As?  I have always  considered
the frame to be one of the strongest of it's class.  With  boxed rails and an 
I
beam "X" in the center it should handle any load a  stock or modified TR 
engine
gives it.  I am running a 302 Ford in mine  and have never had a problem with
the frame that I know of.

Best  regards,

The only problem I had with mine was when I went over a railroad crossing  in 
an industrial area too fast. The crossing was very crude. the railroad  rail 
stood up high enough to hit the frame rails. I peeled back the  covering on 
the frame rails like a sardine can for maybe an inch or so. My car  also 
stopped. Instantly. Fortunately, I was wearing a seat which caused some  bruising.
