1970 Swinger

[Josh Smith]

Ive got a 1970 Dart Swinger im restoring and ive purchased a 1975 Dart custom parts car for the v8 K-member and disk brakes. Ive never done anything with torsion bars. Can i use the ones from the 4 door 1975 dart custom. Or do i need to find some from a 70s model 2 door dart. Or will the original /6 torsion bars work? Need some advice.

the original torsion bars is what I would go with

Thanks I'm new in this forum stuff.
Also, Joseph Schrom you think the /6 torsion bars will be ok with a small block?

I suppose what I would do is look up the part number for the torsion bars, see if its the same for the two cars that you have parts from. The slant 6 probably weighs about as much as the small block relatively speaking, it may be the same torsion bar, two door to four door, I am not sure though. I would think the torsion bars would change when running a Big block.

I'd play it safe and just order new torsion bars...
