    1977 Apen Wagon Torsion bars 318 vs slant 6

    I'd say the shocks are average. Not too hard but not too soft (but not spectacular either) Here's a video on adjusting the torsion bars Getting new leaf springs will raise the car too

    V10 Magnum swap?

    Guys, stop me from making a poor choice, tell me a 2002 V10 Magnum out of a truck won't fit, because I just got a lead on an engine, transmission, ecu, harness, etc., soup to nuts, for $650 obo wants it gone.... which means i can pay less. Tell me it won't fit. Otherwise my wallet will be lighter.

    1977 Apen Wagon Torsion bars 318 vs slant 6

    You can find Moog kits pretty cheap, I think the part number is Moog K7108. I'm using KYB Excel G shocks.

    So the front sway bar is just held in by the retaining clips? That's gotta be loud as it slaps around and it must handle like crap

    Too bad the internet is spammed up with BMW parts. Anything with "E90" in it returns BMWs. But the part number helps setting up an eBay alert

    Best 8 3/4 rear replacement years

    If you need one sooner than later, then you're better off with a junkyard Ford Ranger 8.8 with new perches welded on. Or you could wait to find another 8 1/4 or 8 3/4. The deals are out there. It just takes time.

    Twice the spring rate and out of stock. I wonder why they listed a different part number for the police torsion bars if they're the same?

    1983 Imperial dead for 20 years, what to do with it?

    If it needs to go, and you can haul it out, you're doing them a favor by paying $50 more than scrap. Scrap bounces around, I had a van I bought for $200 in 2019 because the junkyard offered $180. Ran, drove, stopped, but overheated. I threw a can of aluminum stop leak/head gasket in a bottle...

    Gem Guards

    GEM made them and so did KGT. Is there a number on the back of any of them? That should give you the number within the style number. I think these GEM ones are like 652 or 653 then a dash then a part number based on the vehicle application. They're all over ebay like a bad rash. But knowing...

    I'll have to scrounge around for the other bar and parts, but that has to happen after I get the axle in and do the steering conversion. The weather is getting better to work on the ground. When I was younger the weather didn't phase me. I swapped a gas tank laying on my back in a foot of...
