Ok so I have a 74 dart that I recently bought it ran when I bought it but then I decided to take out the engine and change gaskets but one thing lead to another and I ended up getting performance everything for the engine ha
well while I was stripping out everything in the engine compartment for paint I noticed that the body sways from side to side way to much I don't even have to put any effort to make it shake what could this be???

I had trouble reading your post. Please use better punctuation.

Sounds like you need a anti sway bar.

The car wiggles around without the engine in it?

It's probably due to low air pressure in the tires.

Proper shocks are important. I once had a beat up 70 dart with a slant sick that I used for off road duke boys fun. With a man on each side of the quarter panels, we could bounce the car and get it off of the ground! soft springs and dead shocks!

How would I go about installing a sway bar?
Does the car already have a stock one or would I have to put my own mounts for it and stuff???
