Coil-overs work well too but air bags shouldn't be dismissed as they offer easy tunability just by adding some air pressure. Once upon a time when I had CO's on my 67, I remember the spring rate being much lower (175~200#). I can't say if that was optimum since the truck only made it around the driveway several times before coming back apart for a frame off. I'm sure some others will chime in about optimum rates or you could try the race section in the engine/drivetrain forum.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
