Post 55 Chevy Belair Sadan

I am wanting to change out my stock rear end on
my 55 chevy and replace it with a 9" ford with
4 link coil over. I have a hot 406 sb that I'm
dropping in and I was wanting to get as much traction as possible. I know I will have to narrow the rearend to except 10" wheels that I would like to install. My car is a street rod
and I dont want make the ride to uncomfortable.
Am I going in the right direction with all this?
If so any suggestions on installing a 4 link coil
over on a 55 chevy

You can move your leaf springs in with a spring relocation kit. That way you won't have to cut the car up. All you need is a couple of inches to fit the 10" tire. It's alot cheaper.
