Torsion bars for stock suspension rebuild

When I rebuilt the suspension (and did the disk brake swap) in my 68 Barracuda I still had the \6 in it. Because I was planning a small block swap I went up one size from the small block heavy duty bar (.870) to the big block .890 bar. Even with the slant 6 the .890 bar still road well and made a dramatic improvement in the handling. Now with the small block in the car I did not detect any degradation in the handling.

BTW the car has the heavy duty 6 leaf springs in the back, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks and no sway bars. I have asked Santa for sway bars for X-mas and I will also be going to power steering with a Firm Feel quick ratio box.
