My buddy was thinking of doin this to his IROC, and wants a trans brake. Anybody have any difficulty? I know Sphoen makes a crossmember/torque arm for it. Is there any other problems you ran into?

I used the Hurst cross member kit and the stock torque arm on my my car. You will have to get a drive shaft cut and balanced.

Currently installing 3.73's into my 9 bolt (YES, it is a 9 bolt & YES they are 3.73's, not 3.70. I currently have 4.10 gear sets and new series 3 carriers in stock for 9 bolts )

Better upgrade the differential too. A transbrake will destroy that tiny ring and pinion.

As mentioned above about the driveshaft. The TH400 output yoke is larger than a 700R4/TH350. You'll also need a TH400 yoke.
