I sneaked a peak under a shelby dakota and what they did was add an extra crossmember in front of the stock one, right behind where the sway bar mounts. It is an odd looking thing, a half circle that fits under the motor right under the crank dampener. Kinda crowds the rack and pinion a bit...
That looks to be fairly easy thing to make, certainly cheaper than Schmacker.
I will be making one soon, will try to draw it up as I go....

Well my truck is EFI with a throttle body, and I've seen the print ads and original marketing stuff for the 88 and the EFI came standard.
