I'd like to purchase a nice sway bar for my LS Series conversion (1976). Can anybody out there with V8 experience make a suggestion? I have no idea what size I should buy. Or is an adjustable the way to go?

Thanks, Walt

Yes, it does. Not sure of the specs on this one. I'm in Baghdad, car is in California.

The mounts for that sway bar are on the pieces that bolt to the crossmember and the body/pan behind the setup that seem to be missing.You would have to cut off the mounts on the A-arms to install the mounts that are used with the trough body /under tank style sway bar. If that's the route that you want to go in , GO , it shouldn't be that big a deal , lots of folks do it and get good adjustability . Just reenforce the mount area on the body where the thru style goes and should be golden. I like your Phone Dials , what are they 16 inchers??And that rauq parking brake is classic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) , used them myself at times. Good luck , and come home dude!!!!
