What SWAY BAR to choose

It does complicate things, but it just means you can't use the stock 67-72 sway bars. There are other options, like the Hotchkis.

#5904 is a B/E body sway bar. I would definitely want to measure one before I tried it for that application.

I think the Hotchkis is the only one that will bolt up to the 73-76 LCA's on a 67-72 K frame.

Looking at where the Hellwig 55917 mounts, it appears that it put the end links outside the strut rod mounts still. The 73-76 sway bar tabs are on the inside of the strut rods, so the #55917 probably wouldn't work with the factory 73-76 tabs.

Im trying to decide on front sway bar right now and came across this. My question is, "is the 55917 more effective with the LCA mounts outboard of the the strut rods than would be the 55905 which is inboard?" It seems a matter of leverages. I can weld tabs and fab mounts as needed but don't want to spend the additional unless there is a definite performance improvement. i'm doing 1.08 bars and probably hotchkiss shocks or Bergmans Fox shocks. Car will but mostly street with a couple autocross events a year. Already have Qa1 UCAs and rebuilt everything in the front. Rear has Hotchkiss springs.
Also thinking the 55905 wouldn't limit tire clearance being inboard of the strut rods. (planning on running 245 17 on 17x8 5.6bs.
Thanks to everyone for all the excellent info!
