Looks good! Just one suggestion though, you may want to stiffen up the cross member you have the chassis end of the third bar mounted on. Possibly box the whole length. I have run three links for quite a while in my asphalt race cars and that bar has tremendous loads placed upon it. The stamped "U" shape used for that member is not very stiff in torsion. With th angle of the pull and the configuration of the bracket you are going to load that member in torsion. I have seen many mounting tabs pulled off and bent on 3rd bars in cars that weigh 2500 to 3000# running 2 barrel 355cu inches. Your going to be heavier with more torque. Just my 2 cents. All in all a very, very nice package. That might fit nicely into my Dad's Harley F-150.
