Slight wallowing during corning......

No racing! Yes, I knew the rear was a little tall, and plan to even it up some in spring with the 215 tire. Shocks are nothing special, Monroes etc. I will be gettin the Tbars and sway over the winter. How can I tell IF i'll have to weld tabs on the K frame for a sway bar? I believe this is a V8 K member.

Sorry I hit 'post' before finishing.
As far the lower control arms tabs, you'll have to look at them. If original to the car, unlikely to have tabs unles the anti-sway bar was ordered as an option.
K-frame is not usually a problem. Those brackets can be bolted on. I forget which type of bar and brackets is used on '71. There are illustrations in the factory service manual in the suspension chapter. Then search here and 'For sale' for photos of lower control arms with tabs. Soon you'll recognize the different years & types.

With the SS springs, for street use, I'd recommend going up to at least the largest factory t-bars, or .990 or 1.03 aftermarket. Should be able to find any of those second hand if you're not in a rush and have time.

Then definately need larger tires to handle the additional loading. Anti-sway bars load the outer tire even more during cornering. Its their one draw back, and is outweighed by their benefits.
215/70r14 is a good size all round for general use, and especially rough streets.
