[DeTomaso] Engine Bay Brace question

[Tom Di Iulio]

Have to chime in here with a side comment..
With a stock 351, your orig brakes are inadequate for road course
events. With the hp you're forecasting, your brakes become a safety
issue and likely cause for future body work.
Upgrade your brakes now 'cause after a few spirited laps, you'll want more.
