I'm going to run this rear end with this 4 link I already have:

Do you already have the axle housing? What are you using for a carrier and gears? What about springs?

I don't have the axle housing yet, but I will show a pic when I get it. The center section...I may just run a nodular unit with a locker or an Eaton posi. Here is a pic of a ladder bar setup with the temporary spring and shock combo I already have, but I'm using the 4 link in my post above.

I got rid of the Holley because I found a Holley Projection 4di fuel injection system on E Bay. I sold the HP 750 on E Bay, but wish I hadn't, cause the 4Di gave me nothing but problems. I decided to try the Barry Grant Demon series and so far I am liking it. It's an 850 DP with annular boosters and 4 corner idling along with the idle eze.

Sticking with the carb, but if I do run fuel injection, I'll have to run it in Alfa N to bypass the O2 sensor. I have to run racing fuel mixed with regular fuel to keep motor from pinging and running on when I shut her down. Kinda defeats the purpose of fuel injection if I can't use the O2 sensor IMO. I tried the older Holley Projection 4Di and wasn't happy with it.
