I read way back in the early posts on the HBOA
site about different ways to mount a torque arm when
transplanting a 700R4. The three recommended ways basically
were: 1. Shorten the torque arm, and attach it to the
H-body TH 350 tail housing using the stock mount, 2.
Fabricate a bracket out of 1/4 inch steel plate and mount
the standard length torque arm to the transmission
crossmember, and 3. Fabricate a bracket to mount on the
tailshaft and mount the torque arm to the new bracket
without shortening it. Since the primary reason the
torque arm was installed is to control wheel hop, does
it matter if it is maintained at stock length and
mounted to the frame or crossmember, or should it be
mounted to the transmission? Will shortening the torque
arm and using the stock tail housing adversely affect
the rear suspension geometry and cause problems? Like
to hear what y'all think would work
best!
