Check the nhra rule book, it is in there. I will see if I can find it for you.
Maximum of 6" behind the front U-joint, made of 1/4" minimum thickness by 2" wide material, or 7/8" X .065" welded tubing.

This is a “No duh!” But .....
Wait until the trans and driveshaft are in the car.

USCT has one that looks just like the one posted above. It's currently installed on my 68 Dart. Its fully adjustable too. I went 6 inches per the NHRA rule book too.

Why gamble with the possibly of doing it twice?

Nice, but notice the extra bolt someone added to the trans tunnel loop.

That hole is there, look at the last pic, if you zoom in you can see the hole is already there, may just be like a bump stop in case the loop were to ever come in contact with the floor
There is a hole for a bolt at the top of the "loop" at the end so you can bolt it to the trans tunnel floor as well as the cross member. I did it and reinforced that area before putting my carpet in just so it was extra strong. If I think of it later today I'll take a picture of mine so you can see it installed.
