I'm thinking that a piece using the top cover bolts and attaching to the front where the link bolts on will help stabilize the setup and reduce stress at the 4 link ears. Cover bolts are a bit on the small side. There's not much room above the axle at that spot on the body.The link will need to be in front of the housing cover flange.
MV8,
At this point in time, it's pretty much a case of doing what I can with what I already have. The good news is that I've been a busy old pacrat since the trip down the Locost rabbit hole began. The rear axle choices are, 8.8s from a Mustang 3.27 gears and a Turbo coupe 3.55 gears. or 7.5 from Rangers and Mustangs.Gears ; 3.08, 3.45, 3.73, and 4.10.
I want to center the gas tank and tuck the mufflers on either side. Like this

To have it that way, the leaf springs must go.
That leaves a 3 or 4 link or irs.
The live axles can be narrowed to about 53" WMS to WMS. Using the shorter Ranger axles. Of which I have 3.
My Nissan Skyline IRS has a track width of 58" and change, and the Lincoln mark VIII (With open dif) is even wider. Custom half shafts aren't in the budget so.......
The Turbo Coupe gets shrunk and linked.
That's the starting point.
Make since so far?
