: When I was thinking about my 460 project the other day, I noticed the coil springs would seriously get in the way. So I was thinking I could maybe find a 4wd toyota or something, and take the torsion bars off and fit it onto the lower control arm on the mav. I know this sounds very strange, but I think it might work. Another plus is that torsion bars are totally adjustable (any ride height you want).
Well, no comment on the torsion bars here, but most people who put 460's in their mav's just get rid of the coil springs and shock towers, in favor of a mustang II front suspension or no suspension at all! Some local kids welded the suspension at the proper ride height as a "strip-only" car with a 400.
