fowler.. 2 factors that I see....#1 is pinion snout twisting up under acceleration.#2 is just hitting a bump ie raising the whole rear end straight up with no twist... leafs with a snubber for the snout will work just fine.....the 4 link takes care of the wrap up by virtue of it's design also. either way, the mounting should be adjustable to fine tune. anyhow, this thinking and figuring was the favorite part of my build....I did it leaning back in my chair with my feet up!! larry
Yep I like researching all the different aspects of it and learning what I can.
I have been in IT working with computers for 25 years now and I hate them but I have to admit they make researching a lot easier
Still most likely go with Coil Overs and a 4 link. I just like the looks of the leafs.
Was looking at it last night making sure I have it ready to pull the engine this Saturday
I think I will go ahead and connect the new front frame into the old rear frame for now but will eventually build the rear frame also. (when I switch to coil overs)
I took the pinion angle on the rear last night. It is 7 degrees (nose up) I wanted to have the Trany level, If I do that I have to move the nose down at least 8 degrees. But I do not want to do that until I get most of the weight on the vehicle
