Lower cradle should terminate pretty shortly after motor mount if thats the intention of the rule. If you can take that, tie it into back of motor and have tranny brace tie into that, your getting alot of strength out of it when you pressure the operation in. It doesnt even need a distributor protector to strengthen if you have the lower stuff tied in correctly.

I would say it’s good, really the only time a full cradle really does a lot is when there is a dp. Without a dp you don’t gain much in that sense, just help from breaking the block in one way or another. If you can’t slam the drivetrain back and pressure it in it’s just insurance in this expensive sport of ours. Let them run a half halo so they can have header protectors, just as long as it doesn’t extend back to act as a dp. It’s what a good amount of shows are allowing around here in the Midwest (Iowa/Illinois/Indiana mainly)

If the cradle goes anything past the motor mounts its a full cradle, doesnt matter if it has a front plate or not in my opinion.

lower plate the front cradle to the transmission is a full cradle. You can tie your shifter platform to the floor board and get a lot of strength; this is easily missed by inspectors.

This is an old one but running local shows limited weld, Rules allow kickers if you are running a block saver not a full cradle. Plenty of plates to make up front hard, I’m thinking blocks saver and kickers don’t really wanna break ruin an engine Any thoughts?
