    spacing swaybar mounts

    ok, admitting defeat on this part.


    I have clearance issues between my oversize swaybar and Raceland header. I know some of you guys are running swaybar mount spacers. Any DIY ideas to resolve this or spacers for sale? I'm running out of time and need to lock this thing up! Gotta have to ready for The Vintage.

    Which headers are you running? Racelands? Euro headers?

    The stock manifolds and the ebay headers shouldn't require a swaybar spacer.

        Interested in the outcome, I'll be facing this problem as well since I bought Racelands and have ST sways.

        Hows the subframe and CAB clearance? I have THR eyeball arms so I'm not really worried about that, but I have read about subframe modifications to make the Racelands fit.

          i'm thinking about trying the raceland shorties. any feedback on those? If they clear ok up in the engine bay the down pipes should be pretty painless to modify for clearance vs modding the header itself.
          I don't always wreck cars, but when I do I wreck them into trees.

            I just did this PITA install today. I spaced my Engine mounts to raise the motor a bit to clear the subframe. I had to knock in a bit of the collector to have the sway bar bearly clear. They cleared my THR CAB just fine. I still need sway bar spacers. Where can I get sway bar spacers?
