On my 67 500hp B.B. so far I have used subframe connectors. Also a rear cross frame connector. (comp engineering) Currently considering what roll cage to with.

i dont have a BB but i am running weld in sub frames and plan to add a 4pt roll bar.

I have heard of people adding braces made for the convertables but i am not sure how much it helps.

Aside from that i guess you could add some braces between the rear frame rails or tie your sub frames to your rockers for more strength....

or just go over the top and get a full cage built!! :D I just wouldnt want to deal with door bars
