in most applications you'll find a frame is most rigid in the firewall area so i've always had torque straps off the rear of the engine or the bellhousing
theres alot more flexing of the frame up by the front crossmember sort of defeating the purpose of the torque strapo//thats why on these trucks with the factory recall they installed the torque strap at the rear
