Hurst vs B&M kit for torque arm

Like many others on here, I'm in the process of throwing away my peice of crap 700R4 in place of a TH350. Thanks to the wonderful search function I've gotten all the information I need to do the swap but I don't know what torque arm bracket kit to get. I see that most people use the B&M kit but from what I see its not even complete? You have to get a part from GM? What about the Hurst kit? is it COMPLETE? Also what would you say is a better kit all-around?

And no, I'm not going to buy an aftermarket torque arm

Thanks,
Chris

only thing you might need is the rubber mount for the front of the torque arm, i never have, but you may need it.

Are you talking about the Hurst kit or B&M?

Why spend $300+ on something when a $50 part will do the exact same thing? Car hooks good on stock suspension so theres no other reason than wasting money

Thanks,
Chris

I had the B&M kit on my th350 and all I had to buy from gm was new bushings for the torque arm, I'm running the hurst kit on my th400 I have in the car now and the quality on both pieces were excellent, so you can't really go wrong with either one.
