I've built hundreds of torque arm 8.8's like this, but not for an Fbody...



Here's a pic of one of the 8.8 torque arm kits I used to make, the big rubber biscuits up front were machined hockey pucks...



The front mount is a shackle arrangement, doubles as a driveline safety loop...



Easy 1.30 60's in my personal FB RX-7 with no other body reinforcements, not even a roll bar. I am no longer making them, as I moved on to making my ClutchTamer and Hitmaster clutch control products... ClutchTamer / Hitmaster info page

That's amazing work! Just thinking other people wanting to use something stronger. All the rear ends for street setup with a posi are now 4-5k which is not insignificant.
