Ew.

Those are scary and only bolt to the floor pan. Either get SFCs and build one off them, or get a torque arm with provision for one. Make sure to follow rules for your racing sanctioning body for sizing and placement.

Get one of those torque arm relocation brackets with the built in loop. Might even be a tranny mount.

From the description on the site...

Quote:
We supply a template to mark and drill two 7/16" holes through your stock transmission crossmember. Our loop mounts to the underside of the stock transmission crossmember. You simply place the supplied 7/16" bolts and washers through the driveshaft loop mount, through the transmission crossmember, and into the polyurethane transmission mount (required).
