Can I delete torque arm? I am getting ready to do a budget th400 conversion... anyways I was wondering If i can simply delete the torque arm? what will happen... would it be better to install some better control arms? or do they make a chassis mount for the torque arm???? if so where thanks!
Why would you want to? Turbo 400, so I imagine its more of a street/strip car than a road racer. There are some 1.2 60 ft time torque arm cars out there, and quite possibly some quicker than that.
Take the simple, less expensive route and get a Spohn T/A which bolts to the tranny cross brace mount instead of the tranny.

"This system is a complete replacement of the stock suspension. It allows you to remove that bulky torque arm and replaces it with a double ladder bar conversion. This system not only allows you to transfer more torque directly to the tires but also gives you a suspension that actually works. The new suspension absorbs the bumps and vibration from the road and gives you the smoothest ride possible." (Taken from G-Force's web site)
That statement has to be one of the dumbest that I have ever read in regards to torque arm suspensions.

UMI makes a tunnel mounted torque arm. Its around 370$. I would just do that. I know your on a budget but this would be easy.
Spohn also makes a crossmember with a torque arm attachment that would work with you th400. May be an even better choice.
