is it streetable though? i would still like to drive it on the street from time to time if possible with a suspension piece like that. and no i don't care about the back seat and i intially planned on installing a MM 6pt cage with removable side bars

I drove my Nova on the street and it was a back half car. If you use poly bushing instead of Heim Joints it will be a lot quieter and the Heims tend to wear out faster. My Nova was about as radical as a street car could be, even though it was not really all that fast (it was a 8 second chassis with an 11 second motor[&:]). I'll snap some pics at work today of a noce streetable 4 link that we built recently, it should give you a good idea of what it will look like. Meanwhile here is a shot of the Nova.

I converted to the MM rear end. I like it a lot better.

Jasper,

You asked for more pics. With all the difficulties I've had getting this project right, I have no complaints about MM

^^ Thats a nice set up, very similar to what os f-body guys run. It's still not a 4 link though.

jacrockett

but it works GREAT! It rides pretty smooth, but corners like you wouldn't believe. I can wiggle the steering wheel at 100+ with no dip. I can take a 90 degree corner at 40mph and it's like being on rails.

OH yea a PHR, three link is the way to go, it's the same as a Griggs set up. However in this case we are talking about drag racing, and for that the 4 link is a better choice, but a ton more work.
