Nico,

It depends on how you do your sub-frame connectors. The hard
way is to use 3x2 120 wall with the 3 inch part vertical. You need
to  cut the floor boards and weld them to the sub-frame connectors.
It is a lot of work. The easy way is to use 2x2 120 wall, when you do
it this way there is an easier way to brace up the frame than Torque
Boxes. All you have to do is to put a big 45 degree gusset on all four
corners of the mid body frame and the front and back frames. You
put it on the outside corner of the junctions. On the back it can make 
getting hard to the front spring mounts. If you have your
springs moved inboard, no sweat. On the front, it does not get into the
way of anything. This accomplishes the same thing as a Torque box,
and is much easier.

I am working on the underside of my 64 Sport Fury and am about to tie
the 
frame rails together with a set of sub-frame connectors but while I'm
doing 
this I wonder if it would be worth installing torque boxes? If so this 
leads to the question are the ones advertised for the 66 up B bodies
going 
to work on a 62-64 car? The car will eventually have a 451 4 speed and a

3.91or 3.55 gear but will only be street driven. Thoughts, comments 
appreciated.
Thanks
