Those dumb cross bars in the engine bay, why

i think my duster had them when it was new but they got lost somehow somewhere during 30years of changing owners 20times even if the car was put away more than half that time...

Build a custom brace from shock tower to shock tower and then drive the car.

You will notice a difference in handling, much like putting stiffer torsion bars in an A body.

Those angled side braces are more for crumple zones.
