I think Mike would have dug this one, same driveline if IRC.
The four-link rear suspension if giving me some ideas for the future.

I'm wondering the same thing, Boss. Seller has a Porsche in the driveway. Maybe he's on to something (?)

Researched this a bit. I don't think there is enough room to go w/ a triangulated set-up. The parallel set-up in this car w/ the panhard rod will allow lateral movement, not a good thing when tire clearance is an issue. I don't know how an 8" tread width would work w/ more torque applied than the 200 is turning out.
