Hi friends.This question may sound strange.but here it is:

Hi.
I got a 79 maverick (here in brazil they made it until 79 - always with the small bumper) with a 302,crane mechanical camshaft (278/288) roller rockers,performer rpm heads,holley 650 double pumper,msd 6al,msd billet distributor,msd ss coil and hedmann headers.

I think this combo will get +- 350 hp.

Since my 79 structure is very poor, i was thinking about getting a sub-frame connector.Do i really need it??I can have a custom made, that will bolt in all the way from the differential to the front floor pans.

Other thing, when you start to drive those old cars hard, the body starts to get damaged.You start to find flaws on the body (like small waves,or small dents) when you look at it.I am not talking about structure damage.I am talking about a door, or a rear quarter.
IF i use a sub-frame connector, this body damage will stop??Or get minimized?

I will only use the car at street with radial tires.But driving it VERY hard.

what do you think about it?

The sub-frame connector will improve my traction?

thanks
