Hey guys,
Looking for advice here. I installed 73 style front discs on my 69 Barracuda small block car a few years back. But the 73 spindles interfere with the 69 sway bar tabs on the LCA and reduce my turning radius. I cut the extra threads off the spindle bolts and made them flush, but they still interfere. Recently I found a good 73 style k-frame, LCAs, and sway bar and would like to finish the conversion but it looks like a lot of work on a running car. Just wondering is there an easy way to swap the K (and LCAs and sway bar) without dropping the engine? I suppose the other option is to buy an aftermarket swaybar that doesnt use the factory tabs and just cut them off, but Im a little reluctant to do that to a good set. Any thoughts?
