B body rear swap, stock rear sway bar still work?

[FSHTAIL]

After dropping my rear end off for powdercoating, a thought about my sway bar and how that's going to work. 

Also the rear hard brake lines.   

Any info?
My search yielded talk, but no solution.

Are you using an 8 3/4 or Dana?

It will work as is but it puts a diagonal load on the sway bar links.... Personally I take the sway bar to my press & bend the ends in about 1" per side....

Thanks for the tip @1 wild R/T

I threw some bar stock in the lathe and turned some links up then offset them 1", work great.

.....that's what I did too. Not hard really, wrap tape around middle of bar, measure from tape to end link hole and bend it in carefully a little at a time. Pics a little blurry, but here's mine mounted on my car(70 challenger) over a b body dana. I did use stock length end links (actually old original studs, replaced the rubber parts) ,  no issues....

You guys with lathes are really annoying! 

Looks great. Good job.

I got the correct rear brake hard lines for the year B body housing I used.

I used a press and bent the sway bar ends in until the end links were vertical, about an inch on each side.

Nice job Crash.

have used the trailer hitch on  my truck to bend the bar about 1" in but I am cheap !!

@GrandpaKevin.     Where did you find the B body hard lines?

The ones that came on it look beat.

I'll be doing the swap on the 12th, then I can buy new tires!

Nice!  What size are you going with?
I'm going to do this swap and I think I'll make up some links like Crash did.
