As for the torque arm thing; you still wouldn't have to change the tailshaft housing even if you did need to run a torque arm mount (which doesn't apply). There are relocation brackets and crossmembers designed for the cars that DO use torque arms. The tailshaft mount torque arm brackets can brake housings in high power applications, it wasn't the greatest place for it to start.
Remember the context of the thread; he asked a trans question about the 2000 and 2002 4.8 and 5.3 in question. There is no car with a 4.8 or 5.3 that could possibly apply to his situation, they all used the fwd configuration. Further, those all use the ls4, which isn't the same as the iron blocked 4.8 and 5.3 we are all referring to. It doesn't even have the same bellhousing pattern.
Don't get lost trying for a pissing match, its not helpful to the op.
