Front end sag?

blue68 · Post by **blue68** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 8:59 pm

Do ya'll think my front end is gonna sag a whole lot with 1978 351M springs/frontend, 390, C6, Iron intake (iron everything) , HD radiator, Saginaw PS gear, No A/c , and full Power brakes/steering?

My front tires are 245's (15" rims) - I hope they won't scrub.

When the 460 was in there, there were 4 spacers in each of the springs, and there still wasn't too much room between the tires and the aprons (when the wheel was turned all the way to the left/right)

Thanks

You can get a set of new coil springs for the 68 for about $50. They should hold up the 390. The 78 springs are 28 years old. They might be tired.

, just replaced my springs ($70) from autozone and shocks ($25/per) and my front end jumped up to where it should be. I have a 360 and just put the sag box in so you shouldn't have much problems and I'm running 235s on the front.
