I have stock diameter front bars,off an 84 El Camino Conquista with a 305 V8.& al;so one from a 1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 350 Olds.I've put even larger bars on both,so I dont need/want the stock ones.Let me know if youre interested.

Do you have both front and rear? What sizes are they? I am looking for at least V-8 equipment to get my 82 up to speed. Thanks Steve

"I have stock diameter front bars' Whatever there stock diameters were. I cant remember off-hand,I would have to look it up or go measure.

The rear bar and thicker front bars came on all GN/Ttype/442/MCSS and any car that came with the F41 suspension package option. Often you can find a sticker plastered to the inside trunk lid that will have the option codes. Again look for F41. I have an extra whole set but shipping would not be friendly.

Well,he said the V8 version.How much smaller were the V6 bars compared to the stock front V8 bars? And the difference between stock front V8 bars & thir V8 F41 counterparts?

Go to JEGS and look at the Suspension Techniques sway bars. They are reasonably priced and work very well. They may seem pricey but paying freight on a used set will be expensive. When purchased from JEGS freight is only about $11. If you have a driver and like to go around corners fast you also need to switch to S10 front springs or at least V8 malibu front springs. Anyways, good luck!

The F41 package had 7/8" sway bar in the rear and I believe 1 1/4" in the front. I found my bars on a cutlass cruiser with the F41 option.
