Suspension Upgrade
« on: September 27, 2018 - 04:23:08 PM »
I have just completed an engine swap from a 318 to a 440 in my 73 Barracuda. With that the automatic transmission was changed out for a TREMEC 5 speed. With all of that complete, the front tires are canted outward at the bottom of the tires due to the extra weight of the 440. I am looking for guidance on how to fix that issue. Do I need to get a heavier duty torsion bar? I am looking to upgrade the entire suspension with something like the Hotchkis TVS down the road. Looking for suggestions.

Thanks for the information, I will take a look and see what the site provided says. I've currently have a set of BAER disc brakes all the way around. Haven't adjusted anything on the suspension yet.
