What benefits are you trying to achieve with a 4 link. If it is just handling, you can make big improvements with a pan-hard rod or watts link. If you are worried about the springs winding up, there are other ways of dealing with that.

Granted if you are wanting to turn it into a drag car, a 4 link would give significant advantages, but given a little attention, a leaf sprung rear can be made to work well.

If have to go to the trouble of fabricating/engineering all the above mentioned parts, then surely you may as well get rid of the live axle alltogether and weld in a floor pan from an IRS car.
