I'm wanting to build my '65 Marlin for drag racing, but also plan to drive it on the street and roads. Of course I want it to hook at the track, but I also want to be able to put it in a corner with some crisp handling (while not at the track of course Wink). What style of rear suspension should I go with to replace the torque tube setup? I'm leaning towards truck arm since they handle good and it looks like the arms would act as ladder bars, but it seems like the heaviest way to go. I'm not crazy about adding weight to an already heavy car.
'65 Marlin 327/BW AT (for now)
'64 American 440H 401/TH400
