I'm boxing my frame OEM rails. I'll be running close to 1000 hp out of my blown 292. You can buy pre made frame rails for these trucks if you want to make your own frame. For me there is just too much stuff to mount to start from scratch. For me starting with a "C" channel lets me put reinforcing where I want it like engine mounts and spring mounts. Some racing classes require original frame rails. You can buy boxing kits for them or make your own with basic tools.
