Block Braces

For a number of years, I ran Jim's Home for Wayward Chrysler Products. Every time someone locally had an unwanted or damaged engine, transmission, or axle, it ended up at my house. Sometimes, those things were still in the vehicles and had to be separated. I took everything apart and saved or sold what was salvageable and then scrapped what was not.

That all said, only once have I seen these, braces between the engine and transmission. As I recall, they came from a B200 Dodge Tradesman van with a 360/727 drivetrain that I parted solely for the engine and transmission.

Is there any real benefit to these for performance or towing applications?
