When I put the th350 into my firebird I used the BMR trans crossmember with the torque arm relocation bracket...it came with a poly tq arm bushing to.

I've used this when I first converted my car and didn't have any issues. It says it's for a third gen but it works on fourth gens too

Is that piece for the trans mount or the torque arm?

It locates the bracket for the torque arm to the tailshaft of the TH350. It uses three of the bolts on the tailshaft. I reused the stock torque arm bushing and half clamp

The best way to mount a torque arm when using a TH350 is to definitely mount it to a torque arm relocation crossmember like our TCC009. It will give you a solid mount for the torque arm and also gives you the ability to change the instant center of the car which will help fine tune your launches and help with consistency. Here is a picture of the BMR torque arm relocation crossmember.

Thanks....but I'd rather spend 100 rather than 200+....not building a killer just a little street car....
