Torque arm relocation plans

Ok, heres the deal, i had a 700r4 with my v6, swapped to a 350, and a TH350, i want to FAB a torque arm relocation kit, i know that they sell them, but i have 4 kids and am the only one working in the house. So, if any of you have bought one or made one that has worked good for you, do you have plans for me to make one, if a decent write up is displayed i will be more than happy to pursue it, Blueprint them, and post them for other fabricators on here. Car is a 86 fire bird.

Re: Torque arm relocation plans

i can show a few pics of how i did mine. perhaps it will give you some ideas? first i welded a piece of angle to the crossmember. attached the mount where it belonged to the angle. then ran a piece of allthread from the angle to the floor board/trans tunnel. added another brace too. i'll have to dig through some pics.

can't say it's pretty, but it does the job. 4 kids here too, so i understand trying to do stuff on the cheap.
