Yes but also stiffened up the drive train because in conjunction with those reinforcing rods the flange on the 350 tranny's were thicker than for standard 350's. those 4x4 transmissions were very desirable in drag racing.

which makes proper motor and tranny mounting more critical. the frame must and invairiably will flex but you dont want that flexing to be transmitted to the engine and tranny. they must be able to move around separatly from the frame. not alot but enough. the rubber lets them do that among all three axis'.

Bottom line is that the drivetrain is not a support or structual member. aint formula 1.
