No! Not because of the bigger engine anyways ....
I don't know what year or model car so it's hard to answer your question but in general, I agree with polara71.
I am running a 520" in my '68 Sport Fury that used to be a 318 car. What I found out checking the Chrysler parts manual is that the 318 equipped '68 Fury's without a front sway bar used the same parts number as 440 equipped '68 Fury's. The big block Fury's in '68 came with front sway bars. My guess is that Chrysler used the heavier torsion bars in the 318 cars because they did not have front sway bars.

Thanks Fellas,
Its a 69 Sedan with the biggest After Market Sway Bar I've ever seen. I'll more than likely fit a rear eventually just to balance it out. Regards Tony.M
