Off topic question but why the hell did your setup only dyno 321?

Because I had a worn out crappy non lock up auto, and my 5x18s are just diesel auto power nozzles, my ksb came unhooked on the trip to the dyno I imagine it would have been near 350 w that on, also I was on a very accurate dyno lol

Thank you! I did not get to drive it due to a broken flex plate:/ won't know for quite a while truck is coming apart to fix the cancer spots this winter

I went reall low. Didn't touch the oilpan but had to cut part of the pumpkin casting off. Crank is @25". So NHRA 8.50 Cert is now possible.

You have no concern of those shock hoops flexing or bending?

 

[scat]

Nope. Just needs gussets on the bottom and that's it. They will eventually tie into my cage when time comes.

Tubing size/wall?

I think whatever time this cert requires is probably what he used.

Can you post more pics of your 4 link conversion I'm very interested!

Thanks!!!

I want a reg cab first gen 4wd to do a setup similar to yours. Love the look of it, and the look of first gens. I want one bad to drop a simple p pump motor in.

OEM trucks can be up to 36 inches.

Truck still looks mean that low, and should hook good too.

Where i trimmed the axle, Needs a bit more and ill be happy. When its on the street it will be maybe 2-3" higher.

The lower coilover mounts will be welded to the axle. once im happy.

Had to run a Y style steering and a reverse rotation gear box so i can put the pitman arm on the forward of the gear box to clear everything.

Rear is also 4 linked too.

Part of the front Subcage.

Beginning of how it was started.

Hope this helps some ideas brew. keep in mind the bar angles aren't like a car due to the trucks center of gravitiy is higher. Everything is set about the same but will all be tuned out. I should also add for a teaser that the truck will have 4 wheel disc with drilled and slotted rotors and wilwood dual piston calipers FRONT and rear. :evil

This is awesome scat, I've really wanted to 4 link mine, I'm assuming you made the brackets for the front coil mounts, the ones that weld to the axle?
