Traded some parts for an air cleaner.  Single 4 barrel base.  Barely fits under the TA hood!

Back to the sway bar bolts. You could try the thin internal serrated lock washers.

And :thumbsup: on the air cleaner.

I've been driving the Challenger a lot lately and on the highway it was revving pretty high with the 3.91 gears in it.  I had a 3.23 rear end from another car that I cleaned up and put new bearings and seals in so I figured I would put them in...MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE!  With the amount of torque that my 440 makes, I didn't hardly see a difference in off-the-line performance, but on the highway I can easily keep up with traffic without feeling like my motor is going to blow up!  I am really enjoying driving it long distances now!

That is the same result with my '68 Charger with 3.23s and a 505 stroker.
