rear suspension? 4 link? caltrac mono leaf? street lynx?

I run some local street car stuff with my n/a Dart and have done well in the past and can still hold my own against n/a cars. The boosted cars are hard to handle with all the electronics controlling the launch.

That being said I've considered building a 65 Dart I have to run in the class, figure I can lose 500 pounds over what I have now. If I do it will have a four link, no questions about it. Considering the Mustangs that seem to dominate the class for all intents and purposes come from the factory with a four link.

My fear is that if I start beating some of these guys they'll cry and get the rules changed to eliminate back half cars from the class. Then I'd have a bracket car with tags on it.

I hate to admit it but I've considered using my motor in a late 90's, early 2000's mustang just to get the rear suspension. In the long run it makes more sense dollar wise.


There is very little room in the early A’s. I loved my but man, getting a 14x32 tire in there, and the 4 link and then fitting a clutch pedal and building headers...lotsa work.

Still my favorite race car though, even though the four letter blasts from smashing my hands, trying to fit it all in there...that was still my favorite car.
