BB torsion bar part numbers please?

[YY1]

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.

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

How the heck can you say this?

I provided the numbers and the place to purchase them.

Thanks guys.

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?

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.

 

[ODZKing]

That is correct. Up to 72 they are 41 inches long. 73-79 they are 43 1/2 inches. Earlier ones will not work, but Cordoba, Charger SE 75-76 for sure will work. Not sure about 77-79 but they may be the same as well.

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?

Did you read the link below. My 400HP has 658-659

: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.
