major toe-in problem...maybe...?
Put a '77 front end on the ole '67 including the '77 coil springs, i believe the 77 springs were for the V8 application or something because they are taller then the original ones I took off. I figured this would work bc the original springs were matched to the trucks inline 240. Well it now has a 351m, so should these newer springs be ok, bc right now, truck empty of an engine, I get major curve-under. Think this will level out with the additional weight of the motor?

Mine's the same way. By the time you get the engine, tranmission, and all the bodywork back on it, it'll settle down. Don't worry.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
