IMHO the GT's have a larger sway bar. Compare yours with a GT handling.
Perhaps this helps

Hi all,
It turns out that some of the banging as I drive my '67 B through
Boston potholes is the sway bar. The 34 year old rubber mounts are so
shrunken that they no longer touch the sway bar unless it's bouncing. It
can't be doing much good that way.
I've often thought of putting in a larger sway bar, but I love the way my
car handles and I would hate to make it handle in some way I don't like.
For example, I tried delrin A-arm bushings in my car (custom-made by a
machinist friend long before they were generally available) and the ride was
too
harsh for me. The MGBGT V8 bushings it has now are just right. So
the question is, can anyone tell me how a slightly larger sway bar would
effect
the handling? Would it make the car handle like it does but more so?
Or would it make the ride rough? All opinions are welcome.
TIA.
Denise
