One would think 383 cars got bigger sway bars...to at least give something resembling handling!
Seattle PD also used '76 A bodys.

I was at the JY and found a 4 door with a slant, drums and a sway bar! 73-74? I forgot. Never think to look! Too busy looking for good rears. Did the V-8 cars get bigger bars? Did the 383 cars get a bar? I got the LCA's too. Check those 4 doors! |

Front sway bars were available from the factory on A-bodies starting in '65. The same front bar was used regardless of engine, though the '65-'66, '67, '68-'72, and '73-'76 front bars are all different to one another. Don't know what the difference is between the '67 and the '68-'72 bars, and those two might well interchange, but the P/Ns are different. Pretty sure the only factory availability on an A-body rear sway bar was in '76 with the A38 police-package cars built for LAPD and Ventura PD. |

Don't think there is more than one size for the factory swaybar, regardless of engine. Hey Rug_Trucker, you might want to go back and look at that Dart. I snapped up a front swaybar, 340 torsion bars (892/893's) and 6 leaf rear springs off a '73 Dart with a slant 6. Can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure the springs, bars and swaybar are all part of the HD suspension option. If it's got one, it's got'em all. |

Thanks for the tip! I have a set of 340 bars out of a demon shell I bought for the BB discs. That is good to know for the future!
