Default 80e conversion crossmember
Does anybody produce a 80e conversion crossmember with a torque arm mount. I want to buy a long arm and all the ones that I found (bmr and mwc), I would have to use a short arm.

As long as you have a 98-02 f-body we have a torque arm relocation crossmember that will allow you to use a long style torque arm with the 4L80E. If you are wanting to run a 4L80E in a 3rd generation f-body or 93-97 LT1 f-body you will need to use a short style torque arm. Here are a couple pictures of what we offer.

Yes, I have a 98 SS. I was just see what options I had available, seeing that in the future I will be running another wheel and tire combo other than skinnys and fatties. Thanks for your help.
