After a cursory search...

I'm looking for big block 73 and up torsion bars.

Were there different sizes between say a 400 SSP and a 440 RR/GTX?

...or for that matter a 400 Cordoba...

Anyone got part numbers?


Thanks.
 
Chrysler part numbers, standard duty: 400 block - 2269574 rt side
2269575 lt side

heavy duty 440 block- 2269578 rt

The last 3 numbers of the part number were stamped in the end of the bar

These are C-body bars which are 44" long.

You are correct, I looked under "P" body line instead of "R" for satellite etc. Should have turned on more light in my garage
 
no Mopar Performance Tbars for lates B bodies...just up to 72s... you have to go to FirmFeel
 
Thanks guys.
 
How the heck can you say this?

I provided the numbers and the place to purchase them.

Read what you posted. :) If you look for T bars for 73-74 cars, those will come up. But you read the description and it states "1962-72 B-Body". It also states "1966-1978 DODGE, 1965-1978 PLYMOUTH", but being as 72 and older bars are shorter than 73 and later bars, this description cannot possibly be accurate. These bars are for the 72 and older cars.
 
I found a local guy parting a 73 400 Roadrunner.

Which bars would that have come with?

Can we assume...

.92 3402658/659- 6 cyl
.94 3402660/661- small block
.96 3402662/663- big block
.98 3402664/665- HD/cop?
 
Because Jegs is wrong in their listing. Those are 41" bars and fit 62-72, not thru 78. And why would they fit 65 Plymouth but not Dodge?

:yes:

once again and we can see it like this, THERE IS NOT E BODY BARS what would fit on 73 and lates cars. E bodies bars are same pre 72 B body bars, period.
 
Doesn't show post 1972 B body length.
