First drive after brake upgrade, then - BANG!

Best thing I've read today. Thank you.

By the way... The torsion bar is fine, boxes are fine. Nothing is broken (like I mentioned in the original post (also why I didn't post any photos)). I assume the motor jumped out of the motor mount, then slammed back in - BANG.

Checked the height on the LCA-s they were off - car was leaning but, not now. Runs a LOT better now that the engine is bolted down properly - as is, I hope - everything else.

I had read in here that it's possible that a torsion bar can "turn" inside the box if it's rusty - that's why I had asked if I had to remove the torsion bar to put it back in place.

I've been turning wrenches since I was 15 y/o but as I also stated - I'm new to torsion bars.

Thanks to all who offered reasonable advice.

Great news!

I'm a newbie with all this and the assistance in here can be overwhelming at times. I got ahold of as many manuals as I could to get myself smart. Technical Service Manusl and a period edition of the Motors manual as a start if you don't have them already.
Rebuilt the front end of my 64 ... screwed it up the first go- round but with help figured it out.

Look forward to hearing about your success and getting her on the road
