What are tall ball joints? Haven't heard of that one. Please understand, I'm coming from a drag racing background, so I understand the drivetrain inside and out, but I'm just learning about suspensions. I've read Herb Adams' Chassis Engineering book so I have a good grasp of the basic theory, but not the practical side of the s10/g-body setup.
The engine I'm dropping into the sonoma drove a 4100 lb impala ss to an 11.45 @ 118 mph on pump gas. I'm guessing the truck is going to have a race weight of about 3200 lbs, so it ought to be pretty quick.
However, I want to branch out into autocrossing, so I want to make sure I can turn and stop as well as the engine is going to make the car go.
I'm going to set up a 3-link rear suspension with a panahard bar. I'm tracking down a set of scales so I can get a front/rear weight bias with the LT1 in the truck, as well as figure out the center of gravity using the techniques on
this website so I can set up the trailing arm angles to get a decent amount of anti-squat without overdoing it.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I need all I can get!
