The torque arm is equipped with a Delrin-bushed, telescoping front mount for bind-free axle articulation and a pinion-angle adjustable rear mount.

The suspension can be unbolted and the car can easily be returned to stock if desired. Applications for 10 bolt, 12 bolt, and Ford 9”. The Ford 9” version includes a new Strange rear axle housing. Coilover shocks sold separately. Available in black hammertone or red powdercoat.

Just curious what makes this 70-73 and not 70-81? I thought the 2nd gen F bodys all have the same rear ends? I know I have rear frame rails from a 81, fenders from a 70 and tail panel from a 77 on my car lol.

maybe it was a typo? pretty sure they have it on there site as 70-81 and recently noticed they have another kit for 67-69 camaro...which should also work with 68-74 x-bodies

70-81 camaro

67-69 camaro and perhaps even 68-74 Xbodies? same rearend and same front subframe...aslong as length from rearend to subframe is the same i guess

I believe the subframes mount on different locations on the body and are also different width between the rails on the front subframe IIRC.

[BMR Tech]

Good question. The 74-81 has the rear bushings on the subframe located in a different position. This requires a slightly different length torque arm then the 70-73 models. Also the rear frame rails have a slightly different shape to them. We also make kits for the 74-81, they are different part numbers which haven't even been updated on our web page yet. A press release for them will be soon to follow...

ah, learn something new everyDay

Yep, the rear mount points on the later frames are about 2" further forward, the frames are the same width and size, you can use a late frame under an early car just by cutting the rear two holes in the right place on top of the rails. Gearbox crossmembers need to be matched to either the early or late subframe...they mount in different places and are slightly different in width.

does anyone know if a 68-74 x-body is the same as a 67-69 f-body?

We know that a good percentage is the same but floorpan countour variations and frame rail shape, width, etc. are not identical. We are starting the R&D for this platform in a few weeks and will know for sure just how much will have to change. I am hopeful that we can have a Torque Arm setup for the X-Body available by Summer.

Would the first gen camaro set up work in a 70 nova? I really would love to buy one of these>

There are some subtle differences between the two applications. We actually start on the R&D process for the 68-74 Nova in a few weeks. I would say that since the design is so similar, we should have a finished product by late Spring, early Summer.
