    The only set of front springs I have for my project are a set of suposed 70GTO 400 springs..
    Will these be too much for my Buick 350??

    Not sure if the 400 is near in weight?
    Still trying to cross ref this one

    Thanks a bunch

    i have 400 gto front springs in my 72 gs350. i had to cut a little less than half a coil from the spring in order to drop the front end to the proper ride height. i used a chop saw to cut the coil.
    the gto springs are heavier and have greater tensile strength due to the additional weight of the 400 engine vs th 350 buick.

    Thanks Gerry, this is what I was looking for...I may opt to find something else then.
    Thanks
