XV engine brace hitting MSD - ???

[Doomed]

Does anyone run a MSD on a 440 with the XV engine brace? I have no clearance for the brace, any suggestions?

I'll take some this week.

I would love for one thing to fit my car properly.

i want to see these pics as i was thinking of buying that brace too!

 wow figures something that costs that much will only fit specific cars,

 what an after market blunder

So, I ended up cutting and re welding the bar to clear - it was moved 3/4" or so. Their frame connecters did not fit well either. XV said that the MSD sits high over stock (no way, really??!!) so that is the problem. You figure that dudes who are going to install a chassis stiffening kit are going to modify the engine for more power, thus needing the kit. That would be one of the many things R&D should have tackled.

Ok, I mocked up my engine the other day, 340 small block. The bar is just hitting the Mopar Performance distributor. Anyone know if there is such a thing as a low profile distributor for small blocks?
