Im gonna change the front torsion bars on my 69. Car came with and has a 383. I was looking at upgrade mine with the Hemi, 440 torsion bars. Would there be any issues? Just though it would beef it up and I may install a 69 440 I have in the car.
Hemi, 440 front torsion bars.....

I haven't ever bothered switching torsion bars going from a small block to big block, or from a big block to a Hemi and never had any issues. I just re-adust the torsion bar bolt as needed to raise the front end back up if needed.

They would give a little firmer ride.

Do you have a torsion bar on the differential. That is what I would do for handling. Or ad torque boxes to the frame.

Are you thinking sway bar?

Sorry. Yes, that is what I was trying to say Sway bar. One of my mind melds. LOL.

You shouldn't have any problems.
I guess you know to avoid longitude scratches.
The ones I got from Firm Feel were a tight fit in the LCAs even after I removed the coating from the hex.
Hope I never have to get them out.
Your replacements won't have a part number on the ends at the trans cross member
So, the people judging at OE Gold won't see a part number when they scoop out the grease and have look see.
Then again, they could just use a micrometer on the things.
