Who's doing the work you or a shop are you buying the stuff to put on yourself or is the shop going to provide everything? Waay to many variables need more details. If you were to do it ALL yourself, I could maybe see $4-500 for all the metal, brackets, hemi's, nuts and bolts.

I guess the first thing I'd do is check around with some of the asphalt/dirt track guys as they probably know of local shops and or persons that build chasis and cages everyday so they'd more than have the knowledge to fab up a 4 link. around here some guys charge by the hour($30-40), some by the bend ($5), some time and material (whatever material costs that is what labor will be), it's one of those things you'll just have to ask around and talk with people to find a better deal.

Since 4 linking a third gen usually requires doing a complete back half, I'd guess in the $2000-$3000 range to do everything. It might even be more. Depends on the shop and how much they have to do.

having a rear axle assembly with 2 links on the bottom (like LCA's) and two on top.

in a racing 4 link the links are usually mounted parallel, not with the top 2 further inboard than the bottom ones like in some factory setups.

i believe the 80's montes were setup like that
