Brian if it is the Spohn out of Alan's, it will work. BUT the crossmember is different in an LT1 then an LS1. It will hang low.

Would a 93-97 V6 Torque Arm fit a 99 LS1?

I bought this extra one used and it looks identical, I just wasn't thinking about it being from a V6.
W shaped end also points the same direction.

If it fits, would it be any weaker?
I plan to brace it some, anyway but I don't want to waste my time. Thanks.

Your probably in the same boat. I am pretty sure the torque arm is the same, its the cross member that is different. It will just hang lower.

I believe I'm in the clear, I held the V6 one up next to mine while on a lift and everything looks identical.

One quick question, do those threaded nuts welded on in the center actually have a purpose? Maybe for some kind of factory driveshaft safety loop? I've never seen them used before and if they are useless, I'd like to cut them off. Anyone know?
