Default c3 frame

i have the engine out of my 79 the lower control amr brackets at one time have been rewelded in dont know why.
now with a closer look the frame has small cracke next to where the welds are
if see pic's of other people welding webbins at the lower controle arm mounts and nthe engine mounts and the ft frame horns for the bumper support
my ? #1 is why do u think these had to be rewelded
and #2 is can all the webbing welds be done with the body on the frame
fyi i have a 383 crate engine going in spec. are 475hp 525 ft
700r4 behind it
3:73 cast iron rear end from duntov
and i seen pic's of some cars having a adjustable strut bar in the front
