Re: Splined Sway Bar Sources

This is a possibility as I have the basic dimensions. But, the need to bend their arms to align things is a concern.

I'm also still considering getting the Speedway Motors A-body kit for the parts/pieces as the math suggests their 'arms' would possibly work (= easier for me).
Since I know that kit is too wide as is, I thought about narrowing their bar to size/re-splining (if possible) or just get another bar from Speedway Engineering in the dimensions needed.

I'll admit I'm hesitant on the Speedway Motors just because there isn't much info/specs concerning the specific parts other than some basic dimensions.
Plan is to check their return policy before making any decisions

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
