Should have installed the sway bar before you dropped the engine in place. I'm sure it would have gone right in. Doing a great job!! Can't wait to see it done.

Curious if you had the car sitting on those risers when you attempted to install the bar. I have swapped bars in first gen Camaro's with the suspension hanging free and they are tight, but do go in.

We did try it with the suspension hanging but there was still not quite enough space between the coils to get the end of the bar through (didn't want to try a pry bar or forcing it through). Once we split the ball joint and opened it up more there was room.

The Nova subframe may be a tad shorter in the front than the Camaro and probably accounted for the inability to sneak that bar in.
