T-Bird/Cougar sway bar?

Yep, have him grab BOTH the front and rear sway bars plus the bushing mounts from the Cougar. A few years ago, I sold a pair of '78 T-Bird bars to a friend with a '66 7 Litre and as I recall, the front was a pretty much of a bolt-on other than replacing the crossmember bushings with the larger diameter T-Bird's. The rear took a bit of fab, but nothing major. It seems like all it took was building two mounts out of channel iron that mounted the bar to the rear axle, and fabbing the two links that mount to the frame rails. It'll be pretty self explanatory when he removes the rear bar.

My friend reported a big improvement in handling by using both T-Bird bars.
