Well I have done alot of small block swaps into monte Ect. The main thing driving me crazy is this torque arm suspension. I hear about aftermarket kits and all this. I have a powerglide that I’m trying to drop in with a 350 into a v6 car. What would I do about a torque arm mount on a powerglide? Do I need all new mounts or will any of the v6 mounts work? I’m a total NOOB when it comes to camaros. ---

You will need an aftermarket rear trans torque arm mount. The factory tranny’s come with holes to mount the torque arm to. Powerglide doesnt have it. But i’ve fairly sure i’ve seen kits for this maybe B&M, Global west, or someone… ---

Go look at the BMR or UMI website. The both sell cross-member mounted Torque-arm kits. That is what is needed as well as a set of sub-frame connectors and a custom transmission cross-member; THAT’S IT!!! Basically they use a shorter TA which mounts to a separate cross-member which is welded in between the sub-frame connectors. ---

You will need a custom tranny dipstick too. Lokar makes one, it is around 75 bucks. You will most likely need a new driveshaft too. I’m assuming a powerglide is a different length as a 4L60. ---

Thanks for all the replys and help 😃 Wow @ 400+$ thats crazy. As far as speedped, isnt the entire site bashing him currently? The more I look into this, the more i see it as not worth it.
