And if you can package it, a watt's link with a chassis mounted bell-crank would be really cool to see. Put the bell-crank on a socket-adjustment riser with access to socket through the floor of the trunk.
I chose the 4 link, parallel, for a couple reasons, First, this is a street/strip/PT car and I need to retain the rear seat, a 3 link wouldnt let me do that, not without a short 3rd link bar, too short for its own good. Second, this car will not only see the strip and straight line, but the torque of the 440 makes a 3 link not strong enough for the drag strip, at least in my opinion. Plus the parallel will allow full adjustability while still helping to plant the rear tires.
