Bit the bullet - Spohn X-member and Torque arm

Well I'm in the middle of getting ready to do the TH-350 swap since the 700r4 isn't getting along too well with the new 350, and I needed a way to adapt the torque arm to the transmission. I don't like the looks of the B&M and Hurst $100 "swap kit" - they look too cheap to me.

I started looking at the Jegster torque arm mounting kit but I'm a little lazy when it comes to install.

My other two option were the BMR trak pak kit or Spohn's kit. Both are about the same price but I'd still need to do something about the x-member if I bought the BMR kit, so I ordered up Spohn's TH-350 crossmember, adjustable torque arm, poly transmission mount and TA hardware kit.

I figure if I'm going to do the swap, and keep the car for a while, I might as well pony up the additional $$$ and do it right the first time.

Hopefully all this rain moves out of the area by next week so I can start the swap!
