Are those grease fittings that will be buried under the tank? Suppose this won't be done too often...
Nice adaptation, when will the NASCAR motor go in?
When will you be running? Chris, Harry, and Bud are running...
buried... lol
Well it was either greasable or non greasable.. (or roller... but that would have been $$ and alot more fabrication...) I figured, why not go greesable...I can make a hole in the firewall to put a grease gun through.. but im not worried about it. Takes 10 minutes to move a gas tank around to have room to greese it (the gas tank is actually still installed. just moved off..)
Nascar motor? next year...
Sorry.. Bar Dia is 1 1/4 on the big side and 3/4 on the small side. solid tube. I figure the metal is much stronger, its not 3/4 all the way through, and its shorter (37.5in, firewall is 32in or so) so it should be stiffer than a 19mm sway bar, probably more like 21 or bigger..
So far it cost
75 for the bar and arms
15 for the metal
15 for the bushings
20 for the wire and gas to weld it.. (rounded way up... lol)
and probably about 50 in more metal and rod ends. (coleman)
Better than a $500 sway bar...

Oh ya.. I'll be up and running... never.. Mike P's trani seems like its locked between gears, so I think it HAS to be rebuilt.. so if I want this thing running quickly I'll have to make this a 2 step process..
If I just wanted it running... it would be about another month.. to throw everything in, and finish the sway bar. (and to get money for the tires... lol)
If I wanted it painted, interior done, my bracing done, front hood done, radiator shrouding done, 944 turbo front bumper done, and 915 lsd trani in... probably 3-6 months. ie end of summer.
FYI felix, Im planning on an American Graffiti party at my house...
