will the weight of a 454 drop front end more?
 

Will the added weight of a 454/th400 combo cause the front end to sag more? I need to order some new drop springs and want to make sure I don't. Go too low. Thanks

I know that a big block calls for a coil different spring when ordering. Probably is a bit thicker/more heavy duty. If I'm not mistaken, a b.b. is 750 lbs approx. 250 lbs heavier than a s.b.

yes, a little over an inch depending on the springs you have now,, find a fat girl and have her sit on the hood... southern engineering

My friends half ton lowered about half to an inch with the stock springs. What you should be more concerned about is if you don't have a sway bar. A big block makes the sway a lot worse

Just get one of your friends who is on the heavier side to step on the front bumper. Should give you an idea. LOL 2 smaller guys would work as well.
