well i havent had a trans mounted TQ arm in a long time. i tore my stock oem tq arm years back with my stock motor setup, on the street, with street tires during a 1-2 shift. since then i have had a chassis mounted tq arm. car felt so much nicer afterwards, trans didnt rise and fall every time i got on or off the gas pedal, lol.

but now, i will seriously be looking into putting a stock-ish 8.5 10bolt in the bird with upper control arms. basically all i need is the section of a g body frame crossmember, and fab it in. In the bird, the gas tank will be getting taken out in favor of a fuel cell anyway so welding in a custom crossmember with bracing is a real possibility.
