Now that the transmission mount was mocked up and secured with the frame mounts, I could start to focus on the torque arm mount modifications.



The original mounting location of the torque arm utilized an attachment point on the front frame clip around the rear body bolt just under the front seat area. The torque are pivot point in the mount is further behind this location and the original mount had to cantilever 6" back away from the strong part of the mount. This is similar for other torque arm mounts that I've seen and I'm going to guess that this is the best production mounting location. This location is probably chosen because not everyone will have the addition of frame connectors to move the mount backward closer toward the pivot point. However, we are in luck... Dave already has frame connectors welded in and I decided to use them to clean up this mounting space.
