Is it holding up?
I would really like to go with an 8 1/2" rear in my car, just stuck on the torque arm part.
I wonder if some extra support could be added by either running a piece of channel over to the axle tube, or back to where the pan mounts on back? Kind of hard to explain, just getting an idea out there.

The torque arm is about 4' long and the front crossmember should fit in the kickup in the floor that corresponds to where the front seats are. 8.8 rears are dirt cheap. The center mounted torque arm will offer more clearance for dual exhaust.
