So it looks like I might have enough to get new rear suspension soon. I have a few options for 4 link and im not sure which is the best.

For a 64 falcon they make the following

Rod and Custom Kit
RC-114 Bolt-in or Weld-in Triangulated 4-bar Rear Coilover Suspension Kit | Rod and Custom Motorsports, Inc.

Total Cost Involved Kit
TCI Engineering ~ 1-800-984-6259 ~ American Made Street Rods, Hot Rods, Classic Trucks, Ford & Chevy Muscle Cars Suspension and Chassis Parts. 1” upper & lower 4 link bars with stainless adjusters Greasable urethane bushings Triangulated bolt-in cr

Heidts Suspension
1964-1970 Mustang & 1960-1965 Falcon Rear 4-Link Suspension Kit & Parts - HEIDTS

Or apparently a 67 Mustang 4 link from Total Control Products can be modified easily to fit the 64 falcon.

I found this company, Johnny Law Motors that sells a reasonably priced 4-link kit.

That's a nice set up! I have a '68 that I would like to do something similar with the rear suspension. Did you use a kit or is yours all home fabbed?

Both front & rear R&C suspension set ups are great on this application. There is a 1000% difference in handling, the car is on rails. Straight line 1st. 2nd. 3rd. hits, it just digs in and stays on line. Cornering and exiting under power is the funnest. Hard to make it break loose. Well worth the $$$$$ in my opinion, which was not much.

Fly beautiful engine compartment, i'm jealous...

I really wouldn't use a triangulated 4 link setup. Look at any REAL race car, and you'll find parallel 4 link with a panhard bar. The Heidt's rear is the best option of the ones listed, as it a 4 link with panhard bar.
