Front springs on lower classed stocker

Rick Angles · 11-13-2007, 10:12 AM

I have a factory 305 equiped 77 Starfire ( GM H-Body ) that I will putting a 231 Buick V-6 into. While taking parts off my V-6 parts car,should I also take the front springs? Or just stay with the V-8 springs? I believe that there is about a 100 lb difference in the engines,plus removing AC,PS,etc, from the car. Will this make the car set to high in the front? If I will see not much difference in weight transfer or height, maybe it will not be worth the trouble. But while I am taking parts off my donor, may as well take everything I may need. If it is worth it, I will change them. What do you think?
