I am in the process of stripping a 69' Coronet and about to pull the k member and torsion bars. I measured and these are .890" for a 383 2 barrel car, 727 w AC. I am rebuilding the 383 at present and that will be what is in there for a while untill I get the desire/ cash to build the 440 block I have stored in the corner. Just trying to get her totally finished and drive her for a while with the 383.
I will be putting a 440 in here at sometime and wondered if there are general rules to dictate which bar size I should put in for the future 440 weight. According to what I have read, with present day technology it has been determined that the .890" was too light to start with and most recommend 1-2 sizes up. I just wondered if anyone has experience and a recommendation as to what I should be replacing these with? Thanks in advance for any responses I get.
