Have you considered a leaf spring with Caltracs? This 25.3 Corvette build has run the 60 ft at 1.042 with some 7.70's ET. I do know the main rear frame rails are in the stock location. This car runs a 12 to 13 " wide slick. With you skills this should be a easy job.

Ron, interesting, thanks for the idea. Do you know the details for how the springs are mounted to the frame? Or know the owner so I can contact him?

I have done several c2 corvettes. I use the chris alston chassisworks brackets. Build the backhalf from scratch out of round tube. I can text or email some pics if you need them.

Ron, I found him on facebook.

No worries. We looked at possible doing the 4 link deal with short upper links. Decided against it as we have the car working well for a small block anyway. Was alot of work, with not a huge possible upside for us. Honestly they make horrible racecars for what we do.

Here is a pic of the car NOT doing what we want it too
