I just bought this for my 71 Camaro pro-tour build. I am very impressed with the quality of the unit and of how professional the staff at AME and Art Morrison himself, (yes I met him), treated me! Top notch!
Get the front frame as well. You will not regret it. I got both for a 1976 Camaro Pro-Touring 5 years ago. It drives 10x better then anything you can buy new! Unless you want to spend $200,000.00 for an Ariel Atom!
Will u guys do something the same for mid size S10 Blazers 84-04? theres huge market because of lots of guys d like to build their custom rods on S10/Blazers frame, its cheap, easy to find frame with lots of parts
AME says that "The IRS will be available for just about everything we make, whether it is one of our GT Sport bolt-on chassis, custom builder's chassis or a rear subframe."
Okay I don't consider myself a novice on the subject of Auto performance mods, but they completely lost me at 02:18 - 02 :30 when explaining the reasons for going with the Dana 60 over the Ford 9". Yes they are bigger and thus stronger [ 9" vs 10" ring gear ]! I got that part but but then WTF? Okay after repeating several times, I think the point made was that the Dana 60 ring gear is still in production from the factory but the Ford 9" is not. But what does that have to do with being 'quiet' or superior in any other way? 3rd edit: ( Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks.) Okay I guess I've answered my own question. Never heard NVH B4.
Is this AME Multilink IRS unit available with a Ford 9" or 8.8" pumpkin for Ford Mustangs 64-70+? Also can this unit be installed (in it's own cradle) separate w/o having a complete Morrison Chassis?...Thanks and God Bless!
sparkimoto it's likely better. The Heidts is based on a Jaguar rear end, the Morrison is based on a Mercedes. And the Morrison is multilink where the Heidts is not.
Understood, but the delta toe is predictable and easily managed. If you know what you are doing, you can work with the issue and not have it work against you.
Because they only drive them in a straight line. I always wondered why the 'Gasser suspension mod' was so popular back in the 60s. Never made since to me to swap the IFS with a leaf springed Solid axle. But there were legit reasons for it or it never would have become so common. I think it's more of a COST factor with drag racing. (Cost of IRS)/benefit ratio makes it impractical.
@abrideforchrist4247 We're a little late to the part here, but just in case anyone else stumbles upon this comment - here are our thoughts: That's a fantastic question! While IRS systems provide excellent handling and ride quality for road and track cars, drag racing vehicles often prioritize straight-line performance, where solid axles excel. Solid axles are typically lighter and simpler, making them ideal for the specific demands of drag racing. IRS shines in scenarios where cornering and overall ride comfort are crucial, which is why it’s popular in pro-touring and road racing builds.
