Suspension and Drivetrain
I don't do a very good of keeping up with the pictures. I will take new ones of the rear suspension/drivetrain. For now, I've included a couple of constructions shots (several months old). You can see the front 4-link pick up points (fully adjustable for anti-squat/dive), the 16 inch-wide wheel tubs, and some of the duct work that runs to the rear end and trans coolers in the trunk area. The toe links are also vertically adjustable to control rear bumpsteer and the lower link adjusters give a fair amount of camber gain/moment center adjustment. In the "wind tunnel" shot, you can see the C-4 bearing carrier and the 4-link through the wheel. The outer axles are hooked to a very beefy/highly modified C-3 differential by Drive Shaft Shop aluminum (1000 HP-rated) half shafts. The "trans" picture shows the mods to get the TKO installed with the engine so far back. The older engine picture is a mock-up, but it shows the set-back (before I moved it the last couple of inches). The firewall is now flush with the forward edge of the windshield. Note the removable cowl for distributor access. The headers are 2-2.125 stepped tube with merge collectors and a 3.5 inch Dr. Gas crossover into Flowmasters.
