    Is .920 Diameter Torsion stock on a 383 'cuda (BS)? That's what the torsion bar on my 'cuda is today.
    And it has a .890 sway bar. Is this stock as well?

    I believe the 383 cars are normally listed as .90 and the 440/hemis are shown as .92".    Many of us would go larger on a car with radial tires today.

    340 383 4bbl used same bar, 383 2 different, 440 426 used same bars. 920 will work fine, we had 960 in a 440 six pack cuda and it road like a truck, too stiff. swapped out and put the 920 bars in and it rides great, 960 in our hemi car and its a little sponge for my liking, may upgrade those to a 1 incher.

    i have 2 sets of the 920 bars in stock new mopar if your interested.

    My 'cuda has .920 now. I was wondering if BS23N0E came with this from the factory

    What would most people go with these days?

    that all depends on how firm you want the front end to be, if the front end is to firm and the rear springs are soft or firm also could really have a bad ride,
    .920 is what i'd suggest. been there done that with the 440 and the 960"s
