c3 IRS locating specs
A friend and I are wanting to build a streetrod frame using a '80 IRS and dont have an orginal frame to measure from. Is there any frame specs that relate the trailing arm bolts to were the pumpkin bolts to the rear frame crossmember? We want all the geometry to be correct, and dont have a frame to work with. I have a frame drawing with body mount dimensions for collision work, but thats it. thanks for any help.

Just wondering, as you've got somewhat of a free hand to locate things such that you end up pretty much at Chevy Power book Corvette Chassis section recommendations (link below), and to adjust the camber gain geometry to better suit whatever are your purposes. FYI, narrowing necessarily throws you into re-engineering things such as IC's and RC's, just so you know before you start chopping randomly.
