My suggestion would be a 4 link, with 5/8" x 3/4" rod ends (think Chassis Engineering "Top Gun") and a wishbone locator, with adjustable shock mounts. If you're doing it yourself, Chassis Engineering has what you need, and they'll bend you a set of frame rails to fit your floor board. I'd suggest you go with an 1-5/8" chrome moly cage. Weight is critical, even though the car itself is somewhat heavy. You want the ride height fairly low, as well. Super Stock has moved a long way from the "home built" car that is just "back halved".

Need more info.
What HP and ET range are you looking for?
What are you going to do with the car?
Fully prepped Nat'l event tracks?
Local combo races?
Stick or auto ?
What's your budget? I'm hoping you don't have one . LOL
