I have another thread going regarding '58 rear suspension set-up, and someone pointed out the pitfalls of the X-frame surviving big engines, slicks, and racing - or even just big engines and "playing rough". Has anyone out there made any modifications to their X-frame to help it withstand hi-torque and sticky tire situations? I do not intend to race my '58, but I know if I have a 454 in it I'll be putting my foot in it now and then; and I'd prefer not to hurt the car. Has anyone encountered problems from their frames twisting (etc.)? I also do not intend to modify my frame, but I am curious as to what others have done. Thanks for any input.
