the frozen wastes...

Just a quickie, in case anyone here knows offhand.

I've got a set o' nice leaf springs out ov a 69 Coronet wagon that are going in my (much lighter) car. Anyone know the spring rates for these? I want to get a complimenting size torsion bar and need a ballpark to start.

If no one does know the actual rates, would a stock 340/440HP (big block, NOT hemi bars were what? .89"?) t-bar be too light? .92" Hemi bars? 1" aftermarket?

I need to buy new T-bars to match my leafs for a 3200ish pound road car.

I think wagon spring rate is about 150-160 lbs; may be in the Archives.
