A few questions about parts and swapping; I was at the boneyard and there was a 740 turbo in nice shape with a lot of good parts. I have a nonturbo.

1. it has a much larger sway bar than my non-turbo; are the vertical links the same? that is, is this as simple a swap as it appears? the shape of the bar near the end was a bit different than mine but it seems they should interchange. It did appear to be a stock item and not an IPD or so.

2. The struts; I'm trying to id the strut inserts from these clues. raising the boot inside the spring revealed a very large diameter insert rod; I didn't have anything to measure with but it appeared to be at least 25% larger, probably more, than any other strut I have seen. The thing was frickin' huge. Also under the boot, there's a threaded sort of nut that screws into the top of the strut tube and holds the insert in; this was different then any other I've seen, it was more like a high quality machined nut than the pressed things they come with, was gold in color or cad plated, and was sort of castellated at the top to fit a tool I'd guess, rather than on the edges like the stock ones.
These appeared to be almost new so I may try to get them.
thanks for any comments
