Does anyone have any pictures of an IRS setup with a Jarguar rear end? I'm thinking about picking one up this weekend, as the towing yard guarantees any rear end for $75.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had one in an Anglia I built. Swapped it for a Ford 9" later.

Thanks. I was really wanting to see it in a frame, to see what kind of link setup was used. How the hubs are supported, bags are attached, and how the pumpkin is attatched to the frame. Guess I should have gievn more specifics.

the rear itself looks bad ass but imo i think with the rotor inboard it would look weird with big wheels, but then again maybe not

I like the look of the rearend, and I like the inboard discs. And, big wheels won't be a problem. I've got an old ass truck, and I'll be running 15s with wide whites.

They don't use links like Corvette rearends do, they just use the lower control arms and the torque arrestors facing forward.

Thanks for that info Nick! So, would that mean I could just mount the pumpkin to my frame and call it good? Then could I just make a link setup that pulls on those arms with the bag? Something kind of like this?

Find a picture of the blue chopped fullsize chevy that Devious did that was at Forbidden Fantasy this year. It had a Kugel IRS in it which is a Jaguar based design including the inboard discs. And its on 24's. I believe Jeff built a arm setup that bolted on for the bags to work off of. It was pretty incredible looking. I know there were pics of it on SocalCustoms.
