Steve and Kevin have a little difference in the location of the  front torque 
box. Yes please, could someone semd me pics of the front and  back boxes of 
either the left or right sides? I didn't want to tie my  frames together, and 
this appears to be a way of stiffening things up for  the torque i want out 
of my engine. If I had some pics, I think I could  build my own boxes. Thanks 
for any help..........MO......sw   iowa
