Re: Bolt-in frame stiffener enough?
Any triangulation of/for the outer rails will help.
Summits version of the others is cheaper because it's a copy of one of them.
For the rear rails, some sort of gusseting is not a bad idea (the rails as well as the bed floor cross sills).
Later frame rails had heat treated steel & that's where one has to be aware & have the ability to properly weld that material. The 63-87 rails can be welded (boxed) but again one needs to know what they're doing to make it effective w/o being detrimental.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
