Just not going to work.

When the sway bar is being installed, the suspension needs to be compressed @ ride height (it's normal position). They way you are set-up in your images, it's extended.
Was the bar you pulled off & sold w/the previous suspension factory installed & similar to the unit you're installing w/the later model year x-member? I never knew 63's came w/sway bars but I suppose they could have.

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.
