Our orginal design of crossmember was taken to BMR back in 1999
an was COPIED, but shortly after that we changed our design to better support the higher power levels
There is no torque load applied to the transmission case or rear mount, all energy is send to the chassis, this allows the front body to lift and plant the rear tires.
an added feature is that on cornering that the rear will stay in place better and not push the trans to the side and change rear alignment

Thanks for the information.
Not that it really matters but after reading your post I still do not see how you’re cross member is “stronger” than other cross members.
I thought this cross member was a new design as the title of the post states "YANK'S new line of transmission crossmembers " and you have already sold 125 of them.
That is great! Business is good.So I guess these are these available now.
Thanks again for the info.

Our main support beam is a 2''x1'' .120 wall tubing this is stronger and will not deform as a bent piece or 1 5/8'' .083 tube will with a torque load from hard 60's and quick braking.
for just a transmission hanger this will not make much differance but with the torque arm attached this is important..
We have added 2 new models and made them lighter and stronger.
also we had stopped making them during our move, so they had been removed from or site
Thank's for asking these important ?'s

You said your piece has been redesigned to accept the "popular" torque arms out there, but it didn't directly answer my question. Will it indeed fit with a G2 arm? $300 is a lot to spend to just be wasting my time and having to send it back...know what I mean?
Thanks!
Thanks!

if it fits in the stock location and in stock bracket, it will work

Damn...that really sucks. I don't want to have to send back this torque arm just so I can use it...maybe I'll just learn to live with broken tailshafts.

LG uses a completely different mount then most other TA's. It's solid and replaces the entire stock piece with a new one that you bolt to the tranny.
The Yank and BMR crossmembers have their own mount built in and you get rid of the mount attached to the tranny. The LG arm is the only full length TA that I know of that won't work with the crossmembers.

The stock unit moves upward and downward on accl. and braking and allows for pinion angle changes as there is aprox 2.5 '' of movement at the transmission tail housing plus, an offcenter twist on drivetrain from being side mounted.

Guess this tranny cross member isn't for me...I suppose if I ever really get into drag racing (pretty unlikely), I could always just have another torque arm and this cross member on standby since they really don't take all that long to install.
Thanks for the reply! That's the kinda info that can save me $300 and a lot of headaches.

With the poly mount you will still pick up vib's from the engine, but not from the rear and you no longer need an other than a stock mount.
all the load is now on the chassis not the tail housing
By installing the stock mount you will lose a lot of vibs. also

Well I am not sure how to tell if ther is a "market" for them? I know ther are a LOT of LT1's out there and I know I would buy one if it was offered? Any chance you could build one for me? I guess thats not possible BUT I figured I would ask? ASLO is where the tourque arm mounts adjustable like the BMR version is. Thnaks, Lata, Ark
