All you need is the TR4A non-IRS shackles and springs. Add a panhard rod
and you're "good to go". If you want a 4-bar setup, you'll have to add
some sort of "cage" to hook the pickup points to.
This begs the question - WHY? If you want handling, you don't want a solid
axle car.
A better "solution" would be to adapt another car's rear suspension setup,
e.g. complete rear sub-frame.
Among the possibilities are Miata (good for more than 250 HP on some SCCS
Street Mod cars) and T-bird/Cougar (Ford 8.8").
Please note that there is a group of folks dedicated to swapping V8's into
british cars - they'll have better input to you than the 6-pack list...
