BMR Torque Arm Rubbing

Just finished swapping in a LT1 T56 with a BMR transmission mount and adjustable torque arm. It looks to be hitting the bolts that hold the break and fuel line brackets in the tunnel. Has anyone else had this issue and what was your solution?

Re: BMR Torque Arm Rubbing

is the transmission and rear end centered, you should some play in the transmission cross member and if you have an adjustable panhard bar might want to look into that also

I didn't think of that. Will loosen the trans crossmemeber and mount to see if I can shift the transmission over. I don't really want to change the rear end center.I did move the front mount as high up as possible.

Re: BMR Torque Arm Rubbing

Had the same issue with my edelbrock torque arm, rubbing just enough to scratch the powder coat. I ended up moving the bolt to a hole slightly further back on the bracket and i shaved the head a bit for extra measure and that solved it.
