I tried this in the tanny section but didn't get any feedback. I have an 89 RS that already had a BBC & TH400 in it when I got it. I have since changed the engine to a turbo lq4. I'm now trying to install a driveshaft safety loop and I'm not sure what direction to go.

My TA is bolted to my crossmemeber but I don't know what brand it is. So I have two questions.

1. What would be the best/easiest/cost effective driveshaft loop?

2. Is the long tail TH400 any weaker than the short tails? The reason I ask is because I called somebody today and they had a crossmember with DS loop on it already but not for the long tail TH400.

 

I believe Spohn sells crossmembers with drive shaft loops for long tail 400's. I swapped from a th350 to a th400, I have their torque arm in the car, so I ordered a new trans/torque arm crossmember and believe it had an option for the long or short tail and loop. Check out their web site. I believe it is spohn.net

 

Its not the cheapest at about $200, but you could get one like the Lakewood unit and modify it to put where you want.
