lower control arm question
I'm rebuilding the front end of my 65 barracuda and doing a brake swap to the 11.75" rotors with wilwood calipers. (before I put my 360 and 727 combo in there)
I ordered some reinforcing plates to weld onto the bottom of the lower control arms but I don't know which LCA I should use. I have a set of LCA off of a 73 duster with swaybar brackets, I wanted to use those and move the calipers to the rear for clearance. The 73 sway bar however goes thru the K-frame on the duster and I don't think it will work on my 65 K-frame. If I bought an aftermarket front sway bar could I mount it to the bracket on the 73 LCA? From the pictures that I have seen the bracket is in a different location on the early LCAs than it is on the 73 and up LCAs. So, the other option is to use the stock non sway bar LCA from the 65 and buy an aftermarket swaybar and weld the tabs onto the LCA in the correct location. I don't want to reinforce the control arms and apply new bushings only to find out that I should have used the other ones.
If anyone has done this can you let me know, Thanks.
