front sway bar

kvaught · 06-22-2003, 12:09 AM

I bought a 1990 mustang lx about a year ago it had a 2.3 liter in it to begin with. I bought the car to put a 351 down in it. After a few months of shopping for parts I finally got the motor done. After setting the motor down in the engine compartment I came across a problem. The front oil drain plug is sitting on the sway bar. My question to you is do I need a sway bar out of a v8 car, I don't really know if there are any differences between the two or not.

I've attached a pic of the 351 right before I added the final touches

Shoot man, pretty much everyone i know tossed theirs off.
Mine rubbed my oil filter since i have an oil cooler, but one night i bottomed out my car and bent the end links, so i pulled mine yrs ago, i noticed a nice improvement at the track, also the car just body rolls a little more, but it still goes around corners good enough.
you can at least take it off and see if you like it, if not you might be able to buy a steeda one which is a little different and lighter.
