strut tower brace for e-force

[Sinner]

is there a strut tower brace that will go over the e-force? the blower looks to sit a bit lower then other FI units and the steeda brace that fits over the whipple looks like it would fit, but does anyone know for sure?

i have a SMR strut tower brace now and a cowl hood so hood clearance won't be an issue.

The Bullitt/V6 STB will clear.

great and thanks for the fast reply, lol.

how are you liking the e-force? i'm paying for mine now and should have it in by feb. is there any pearls of wisdom you would add or do different with your set up?

Mine has been on 2 years as of this coming Feb. and I have zero complaints. I ran the base kit set-up for the first 1.5 years and bumped things up this fall with a 3.5 inch pulley and GT500 pumps. It is a blast to drive and I really would change nothing... other than maybe making the move to the smaller pulley sooner

My only regret was not upgrading the cam covers during the install as it was a bit more difficult with the intercooler tank and hoses in the way on the passengers side. And I have done that twice now as the black set I originally installed was a bit too dark, so I swapped them out this fall with a FRPP blue set.

i'm going with the 3.5 pulley to begin with and i'm most likely going to get my valve covers powder coated silver because with i get the blower install done i'm also getting the LT and hot rod cams installed.

i'm not sure on buying the gt500 pumps. i know i don't need them yet but i like to get things done at one time, if possible.

this is the kit i've always wanted and i cant't wait. it's nice to have something different.

id do 100 bucks picked up since were both in the dfw new is 180 plus shipping

stang, i'll keep it in mind and i'll look into it, but i want to see if my brace will fit before i buy another one. if it doesn't i'll PM if you still have it. thanks for the offer.

that looks good on there. My pal has an 08 Bullitt with an Eaton M90. His STB won't fit over his s/c. You do anything special with yours ?

 

[Sinner]

i'm assuming it's because the e-force is designed different and sit a bit lower but i'm not sure, lol.

probably, but just in case he fabbed it, bent it, raised or otherwise modified it I thought I'd ask. I thought if I asked I could be sure.

bump on this... just installed the blower and my brace won't work. i'm not a fan of the bullitt brace.

doesn't edelbrock make one that will work over the e-force?

Edelbrock actually does have a STB for the eForce

 

[bullitt boy]

put a couple of spacers under the studs it attaches to.

i thought about doing that but i enter car shows and that may look stupid, lol

 

[GlassVapor]

They are proud of that stb for $280

 

[Sinner]

and its got their name all over it too, lol. they really do get carried away with putting their name on too much crap.

i found a ford racing strut brace that is on the KR and i'm thinking that would work.

 

[brett cravens]

the ford racing stb off my shelby gt want clear my e-force . i know it might not be the same . just thought i'd let u know

 

[Sinner]

it's the one off the KR GT500 so it clears the whipple.
