Mancini shows from 66 and up b-bodies. I have a 65 coronet with a 70's e-body K-member and the bars are around .880 and I would like to put the .920's or 960's bars in. Any suggestions? The car has a Hemi with aluminum heads and intake. Thanks again. 5358177-FT.JPG (40 downloads)

That will put your car on the same footing as most new GTs. Jim
