Cool Who wrote the book on 4-links?

Where is the best information on how to set up a four link? Just ordered an Art morrison four link for a 6.0L S-10 project I'm working on and I have no idea how to set it up.

I'm intrested in this too.

Kit I am looking at is the chassisengineering one, looks sweet.

Are you tube framing the back? Its probably a bit easier with a truck.

We're going to try and keep most of the frame stock. Is there a better site I should ask this at?

If you want a book on it Jerry Bickel Race cars or Rick Jones Race cars both have books.

If you have just questions I can give a baseline tuneup and tell you how to set the vehicle up.

The one Madman is referring to is called:
Door Slammers: The Chassis Book by Dave Morgan

The other one mentioned is titled:
The Rick Jones Chassis Tuning Guide.

They both make my head hurt when reading.

I have the engine analyzer and drag analyzer from Performance trends how is the 4 link program? I haven't had much luck with the EA on LSX engines but it worked great on SBC.


I'm really simple so if the books are to deep I'll be lost.

Those are both good books. You should also check out Jerry Bickel's book. It's got some very usefull information in it.
