Thanks...Makes sense. The car that I'm going to build is now an I6, so I guess that I will need to at least come up with those V8 springs. Anyone have any other Ideas on stiffening/beefing up the suspension for more sporty handling? Sources, manufacturers?

I dropped a 289/c-4 into a 1979 coupe ~ that was a 4cyl. / 4 speed car.The driveshaft and trans came from a six cyl. 1976 Granada. Only change in suspension was the addition to a positraction rear end. The stock front springs worked well.

Can a 351 C crankshaft swap over to a 351 windsor block?
