Re: independent rear suspension

I've seen pictures of a C4 Vette rearend installed on a C10. Are going for looks or all out track performance? Aftermarket four links are available at a price.

Re: independent rear suspension

A C4 Vette rearend is probably easier to find. It's a four link connection. If you plan to drop as much weight as possible it's a good option. How much power are you going to push? If you are going after some serious power, an aftermarket setup is you best choice. You can add either a 12 bolt or 9" for max reliability.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
