Copy the Buick GNX (no, not Grand National) design and do your own adjustable pinion torque arm.

i missed the link on the top until u said something

i have a few ideas on how to make a diy mount for a factory type tq arm on the dana 60 housing , only problem is i wont know if any of them will work or have clearance untill i get the housing under the car


maybe this week i can get the rear out of the car and mock some stuff up

if it flat out just wont work i may just do a 8.8 swap and see how long it will last behind the new combo
