Project 440DD

[DavidBoren]

Why a 4-link instead of an offset 3-link? Just wondering.

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.

All good points. I was just curious. Thanks for answering my questions, though. I figured you had a legitimate reason.

No problem, I am open to suggestions. especially on how to make this Watt's bar work. That's where I'm conflicted.

Working on mounting in the new(used) set of buckets. Not being factory mopar seats, I'm having to cut the bench riser out of the floor to get them to mount flat, other than that they are fitting pretty nice. In progress pic..
