What Front Springs w/Iron Block ??? I am seriously considering purchasing Rob Raymer's turbo motor for a swap into my car.
It is an iron blocked 404ci stroker motor...however, I am a little worried about the extra weight on the front of the car. In addition to the iron motor I also have a Incon TT kit on the front of the car.
Currently I have eibach drag springs in the front and the car sits a little low with the stock block and TTs...should I go with a stiffer spring? Toss the stockers back in?
Thanks,
Scott

Re: What Front Springs w/Iron Block ??? I'm wondering too, I got the hal coil over springs, they tend to get a little bouncy...I've already scraped my FLP collector w/the skinnies on..
I might have a 85lb gain in the front w/the iron block I might do as well.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: What Front Springs w/Iron Block ??? So, toss back in the stockers? Or should I get a set of stock LT1 front springs, since they had iron blocks.
Thanks,
Scott

Re: What Front Springs w/Iron Block ??? I usually ride around w/the front HAL's on 6, which is a middle setting, I'm sure if I set them to like 8 or 9, maybe even 10, it would offset for the extra 85lbs sitting on the nose...
Also...
For track purposes what would be a good shock setting, I'm sure if I yanked the tires and I had the HAL's set on 0 when I came down it would be no good....
