I don't have one at all, possibly a bit flexy, but I don't notice.

I replaced R with two short tubes going from the tunnel to about 2/3 the way along the side rails. I also did the Cymtrics mods at the front but changed the side diagonals to pick up at the suspension bracket to give it more support. I also added two diagonals from the top rear brackets to the engine mount to provide a more solid triangulated location for the engine and support the bracket. I found the bottom tubes deflected at the engine mount plate with the Pinto in. I also had to move the long side brace on the exhaust side so it hits about 3" up the bulkhead not ideal triangulation but necessary to clear the exhaust which i think is a lolocost 4 into 1 manifold.
