Well, FWIW - the 67 we had (302, mild - like barely 100 HP) supposedly had an aftermarket one piece tower brace since the guy I bought it from had it in his possession. Probably 15~20 years or so. Both towers were cracked to hell. So I don't put that much stock in the tower braces. My Falcon never had one and I can tell you I beat (still do) the hell out of that car and the towers are just fine. The 70 came with stock style two piece braces - they are under the bench because they make it a PITA to work on the car. Helps that the 70 has an 8 point cages and connectors LOL. IMHO putting a solid brace between the rails under the engine like the Fairlanes would do 100x better than tower braces that attach to a flimsy firewall/cowl weld seam.
