I took the hypothesis that the movement is proportional to the applied torque.
In your case, since you have two transmission mounts spread apart, that's not quite the same as the single mount in the Caddy.

The distance from the mount to the axis of torque must also be considered.

Finally took a few minutes to work on the 88 project. Exhaust is done and the cradle is pretty much ready to go into the car. Unfortunately the car is a long way from being ready for the cradle. I was inspired by attending and completing in my first car show with the 87GT. Unbelievably I took 1st place in the Fiero class. Got a really cool plaque for the shop and my picture taken with a pretty, young trophy girl. High point of my day!

Daryl,
I need a big favor, could you get me the stack height of your flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch. I 'think' the stock ATSV setup may very well fit in our Saab f40 bellhousings after talking to monster clutch out of Texas. I know the spline count and diameter match...just need the height
I'm having to initiate a credit card dispute with clutchnet as they've gone radio silent on me for several weeks after numerous calls and emails...
Thanks in advance...

Sorry, but it is already assemballed. Unless you know how to measure it while assemballed, we are too late. I used off the shelf parts for a 2.8l Saab. That info should be available somewhere.

No worries.... Only way would be to pull the f40 off again, and axles, and mounts..major pita
Yeah you'd think but no one knows or no one responds.
If you have to pull the f40 again for some reason let me know...
Thanks!

Finally done with other non-car projects so on to the next step. My 88 project did not have a rear sway bar. Does anyone have photos or diagrams of the factory 88 rear sway bar or of any other options people have used? I'm trying to figure how I am going to add a rear sway bar.
Thanks,
Daryl

This thread is great, but the suspension mods are extensive. I'm not sure his solutions will apply to a less modified suspension.

Just referring to his recreations of the stock drawings. It is a big thread for sure takes a while to find stuff.

He has a table of contents in the first post.
Your rear transmission mount will interfere with the stock 88 sway bar. It mounts right in front of the rear cradle mount standoffs. You can raise the bar a little higher than stock as well as shift it forward some, but there are limits of clearance. The upper set of bars is the stock 88 rear with the Addco 88 rear so you can see the general shape.
Here is where mine is mounted. It is shifted about 1" higher to clear the 2x3 crossmember.
