I hate removable tops. I really wish they made a model with a fixed roof.

Thanks for the Video Tim. I was looking for this product last year, but that manufacturer stopped making them. Ebay has one or two used ones for sale once and a while. For me I would purchase it for open top safety. I have seen C4's through C7's crush down during roll overs. I'm 6'3'' and would be scalped. Right now, I'm going to buy a roll-over bar/seat belt kit for my 87 first. Then, I'll consider this product too. Between the two, I'll have some peace of mind as my model has No Air-bags and my engine puts out over 500 NA HP.

I have a very old add-on which allows me to prop the hatch up about 2.5" which allows airflow to smoothly go through. That makes a big difference.

There is an X brace on the convertible for support and if you look under the coup the mounting holes are in the under carriage, I believe if you can find it you can install it on the coup, I also saw a company advertising brackets that mount underneath to help this problem too, I havn't ruled out the transverse springs seeing how the fiber glass is over 30 years old. My 92 not only shakes but the steering column wobbles which is pretty annoying which could be from the tilt wheel steering pins being worn from people using the wheel to exit.
@RaykahnАй бұрын
You can get an oversized steering column pin to fix the wobbly steering wheel. I just did that on my 1990. The 'other' brace you are talking about is the vette2vette frame stiffening bars, which I also have. They made a noticeable difference when the top is off, but it certainly doesn't eliminate frame flex like advertised. Still worthwhile, imo.

@mikep47Ай бұрын
You definitely aren't exaggerating I have a 94 Polo green coupe and I took the top out one time and it drove so bad I never took it out again. Been looking at these braces for a while. I think the people who say their cars don't shake or drive different probably have cars that are already wore out and shake rattle and pop. My car is well kept and has fairly new Struts etc. Love the C4 content
@91C4NVAАй бұрын
Nope, both my C4s didn't have any different ride with or without the top. I have a 1991 now and previously owned a 1995. I'm not saying your car doesn't shake with the top off but they all don't do it.

Speaking about pain. I had my passenger side door come closed on me with the glass up while I was lifting the top off. Nearly dropped the top due to the sharp pain in my gut.

@@misterdanielsiii I took an old battery powered screwdriver and stuck a cig lighter plug on the end of it. I still use the ratchet to initially loosen or to get it to it's final torque, but it's like taking off all 4 wheels at a race, zip zip zip zip. Done.

Maybe it was hidden with the car running at fast idle but that engine did not sound like it was rebuilt using the correct w30 308 camshaft. The idle should of been much choppier than that. Although, now that I think about it that cam might of only been used with manual transmission cars without power brakes.

The 289 4 bl. was available in the 63' Fairlane, however single exhaust only because of design limitations. Ford almost had the Mustang ready by this time, and were trying to zero out it's 260 inventory. You could legitimately call this engine swap a "Day 2" modification.
