Sway bars on 5000cstq?

[Hoffman Anthony J A1C 552 CMS/MXMVC]

You will need the bushings from the V8, but not the clips. I also would VERY
highly recommend new lock nuts on the ends which go into the control arm. I
currently have two t44's and they both have bent fenders from the nuts
coming off.

Now that is interesting. I have a 200t/5kt front-wheel drive currently 
undergoing a 10-year rebuild plan (tsk tsk). It'd be nice to upgrade the 
front swaybar if possible. Do you perhaps know if the V8 front sway bar 
would be interchangable and what would be needed? That is, would one require

replacement rubber bushes to hold the thicker swaybar and would it also mean

that the swaybar to front subframe clamps would also need to be changed?
