100e 4 link rear end

[webby1]

hi, i am considering putting a 4 link rear end on my wifes 100e, i was just wondering if anybody has done this before and is there anything i should look out for, i think i will have to use an escort kit as there is not one for the pop, any help or pic's would be very helpful, thanks.

Do you really want to go 4 link as you will have to cut the box's into the floor, i would use a anti tramp kit and gas shock conversion from Alen Dent,

i realize that i have to weld the boxes in, i was more concerned as to whether i use the long boxes or the short, i only want to build the car once so i thought i might as well do everything now rather than upgrade over the coming years, cheers for the reply.

I had the same problem with my cortina i used a escort kit, the box's arn't really going to be your problem its the length of the bar's shortning them to suit, 90% of the box could be cut off its only the end where the bars mount you need, i cut my box's and extended them im guessing yours will need shortning, only reason for sugesting the other kit was im not sure how well 4 link bars work on 100e's, i would give Alan a call he's been racing these cars for ever.
