With the V6 or a V8 conversion, you need the special V6 version of the front sway bar. It has an extra huge dip to cut down below the motor. If you look at your stock sway bar you'll see what I mean. If you find an IPD V6 sway bar for sale on TB you snag that thing immediately as they are basically unicorn horns at this point I think. But slight lowering, sport shocks and sways will completely transform the car without making it uncomfortable at all.

Oh yeah, you will have the stock V6 sway bar, I'm just saying keep an eye out for the upgrade sway bar and if you want it jump on it fast.

Sure looks like it. That'd be a 22mm bar, which should be a nice upgrade over your presumably 19mm or 20mm bar.

I'm pretty sure mounting points are identical for all 240s. But you'd only want that bar if you need the clearance for an engine swap.

What I love about that coleman is it matches the car, in color and (presumably) vintage.

Do you seriously have to pop the u-joints on that car to pull the transmission? I thought that yoke came out or something. U-joints are a bitch to install/replace on a bench, I can't imagine doing it under the car. Also not sure if you know, but I just noticed you have 242GT wheels on your wagon, those are rare and only came on the GT model as far as I know. Turbobricks is down right this second but I know there's a guy looking for a set, not sure what he's willing to pay but you might be able to finance a bit of the project with those if you aren't attached to them. If you want it to look more like a sleeper, I'd get some Volvo steelies and then have them widened just an inch or so. Edit: TB is back up, they're not quite as rare as I thought but still a couple hundred bucks. He said he'll pay $200-$350 depending on condition. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=317484 LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jan 19, 2016 |

Sir Tonk posted:I doubt I'm going to find a set of 14x7 wheels that look like that. I was suggesting you can have them made. Steel wheels are super easy to just slice around the perimeter and weld a band of steel in it to make it wider, wheel shops do it all the time. Or you have them cut the center out and put it in a wider drum. You can control the offset and dish, so at best you'll end up with wheels that look slightly deeper than stock, nobody but car guys will notice.

Sir Tonk posted:I hadn't even thought of that, what a good idea. I'll just widen a set of Virgos and sell off the GT ones I've got to someone that needs them. Thanks y'all. Well, nobody will do it on aluminum wheels, I don't think. Maybe, do some googling.

If you're messing with the lights, do the chevy celebrity light mod: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=271975 Everyone in that thread seemed to hate it but I think it looks awesome.

What are these bolts you speak of? If you're throwing out an exhaust, a sawzall is all the wrench you need. Even a hacksaw by hand will go through that quickly if you don't have a sawzall.
