would using something like this be easier for putting the c4 rear in my 82? Or just simpler using the c4 stuff?

Stroker-427 6-link modified for 80-82 Batwing & adj. spring

I have been working on a modified 6-link for my 68'. I have taken Stroker-427's design and retrofitted it to a 80-82 batwing (less weight). I will donate my autocad drawings to this forum. I still have some questions for Stroker-427 as for setting it up. I will post these questions later. I have also made extra parts (stainless and aluminum) in case some body would be interested in purchasing them, to save themselves the time and effort. I have a set of wheel housings complete from Stroker-427's design that are complete. The other parts are from the modified design. I thank all of those that have contributed to this thread as the information is priceless. Thanks.....Ken

Nice job! Are the "extra parts" you have from the Stroker design (pre 80). Are the wheel bearing housings welded together?

 

[Stroker-427]

Very nice job 68Vette.....

Can we try to check how much we are with this mod?

 

[68VetteModified]

BBShark - To answer your question, Yes ,the two welded housings are Stroker-427's pre 80's design. I made them initially but realized that I had to change the dimension of the toe rod mounting points (move farther out). They are stainless. Some of the welds could be cleaned up though. The holes for the heim joints are .562 dia., setup for Currie Enterprises Johnny joints. (CE-9112N-13).

[PAPADOC]

Wow

:thumbs:
Just finished reading through all 22 pages of this thread. All of your work is amazing....absolutely floored by the talent.

Now have to convince myself that this is doable.

 

[68VetteModified]

To save someone a lot of work...........

I have listed my extra parts in the for sale section. Refer to post #214 for additional pics of the finished setup. The parts listed will create most of the setup. Thanks.....Ken

Getting back to the parts that Ken has listed, I purchased the original hub carriers and brackets that he made up to suit the pre 80's rear end. I havn't got around to setting it up yet, too many other projects at the moment. Just thought I'd let you that the quality of the stuff that I got was excellent and Ken is great to deal with.

hey guys.... built this in 2007 or so...

My driveway built 6 link has been rock solid for a lot of years.... Been around WGI a few times, got a handful of SCCA autocross outings and most recently a few trips to the local 1/8 mile drag strip... 1.6 60' times but couldn't hook the rear end up.. just spun the tires...

Back on the trail to finish this project this year....

Hi everybody
I have read the entire thread and I have to acknowledge the good work! I want to improve the driveability of my vette 1977. At first I'll update steering means Steeroids Rack & Pinion Kit. The next step will be Six Link Rear Suspension I have some confusion. I'll be glad if you help me.
I'm sorry, my english is bad.

 

[Stingxray]

Almost on the ground

Had a major delay with other projects but have some updated photos. Shock mounts now welded in and ridetech shocks installed . Luckily spring clearance is acceptable.

[voodoovette]

That would be a great help!! Thank you:thankyou:

 

[Stroker-427]

Wow...... I know this stuff !!!

Great job... Hope You will enjoy!

 

[voodoovette]

Stroker-427,
Would you have the measurements of the front link bracket,? I would like to get these made right away.

 

[Stroker-427]

Hi,
Theoretically both front links should be 10.5 Inches.
But any Corvette will have little differences in this measurements.
By the way you can adjust the positon of the rear wheels in the fender.

 

[voodoovette]

If I understand correctly, the 10.5" is the length of the link rods. I am asking for the spacing, from center line to center line of the fastener holes in the triangle shaped bracket that bolts into the frame pocket and the links attach to. I would like the make the bracket and have a drawing from the downloads but need the measurements, thank you.

 

[Stroker-427]

Oops...... sorry !!!:nuts:

Hope this help....

 

[Stroker-427]

Hey guys, for me will be very appreciated an email from all the enthusiast fabricating my 6-link system.

Pictures of the car and of 5-link rearend are very very appreciated.
