Subframe connectors for a driver/cruiser, necessary to weld to floor?

I didn't read where anyone stated "you won't benefit from them". It was stated "you don't NEED them". With a mild motor, I cannot disagree. It isn't a NEED, but you can BENEFIT.

Fast facts

• No muscle car came from the factory with frame connectors as an option
• When more support was need with the extra HP, torque boxes were added. Were torque boxes cheaper than frame connectors??? Something to be said there.
• Even 440 6 pack and Hemi cars did not add them from the factory.
• Even 440 A-bodies did NOT have frame connectors.

This being said, yes, there are benefits to them, but before we say NEED, you best be talk'n HP, with converter with traction!

who will give the first red X LOL

Let me be your first green check.
Will a mild engine car with an open diff twist itself into a pretzel??? Or even a pretty hopped up ride with a suregrip be negatively effected? Probably not! Are frame ties "good?" Either in homemade 2x2, or another type. Yes, I believe so. Of course subjective, and "good" can be as beneficial as a fine cnc head job on a bone stock engine. Does it help? Yes. Does it help more, the more is done to the car? Yes.
