    Bending a sway bar

    I got to thinking about the rear bar....do you think if you modified the bracket that bolts between the springs and the rearend housing, would it be easier and less risky than bending the bar? Maybe weld a new tab 1" outboard to each one if that wouldn't cause interference with the brakes?

    Thanks! I bought that intake for a plan B if the 5.9 Magnum MPFI gives me too much grief when I put it in my 88 D100. :thumbsup:

    Bending a sway bar

    No help on the rear bar, but how did you mount the E body front sway bar? I put one from a 70 Roadrunner, which is the same thing as an E body bar in my old 64 Belvedere wagon many moons ago. Used the factory Early B body k frame and just cut a notch in each side so I could pass the bar thru the...

    Transmission for push-button Barracuda

    The good news is, that the K frame in Early A bodies such as the 64-66 Barracudas are the same no matter if the car came with a 6 cylinder or V8. You just need some Early A V8 motor mount brackets and insulators. The steering center link on V8 cars had a drop down in it so it would clear the oil...

    Paint it, Clear it or Let It Rip?

    Did you have to hone the holes out in the Magnum bolt pattern to get the plugs knocked in? I bought one of those intakes a while back when someone had them on sale cheap. I noticed that the plugs seemed to be too big for the holes, is why I asked. You did a good job on the paint...

    Transmission for push-button Barracuda

    Unless you are just REALLY wanting to use the pushbuttons, get a later model 904 for a V8 and use it. You could easily use an aftermarket shifter to make it work. Finding a cable shift 904 is harder than it used to be, plus...you need one with a valve body from an actual push button car instead...

    340 stock manifold to header adapter question

    Now I see what your needing to do! You could see if an exhaust shop has some 2 1/4" two hole flanges that will bolt to your manifolds, and get them to weld you a piece of pipe to them in a way that you could hook to them. Places that do exhaust work always have stuff like that in a scrap pile...

    340 stock manifold to header adapter question

    Steve, if you have time to wait on your down pipes that fit the manifolds, maybe an exhaust shop could make you a flange to mate the 2 temporarily. If you have the flexibility to move the pipes a little bit on the run stand, you may be able to just buy a 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inch pipe adapter at the...
