You realize that the 3 inch dropped leaf springs will probably net you less than that since the original springs had already sagged a bit? The new lowering springs will be 3" lower than stock new springs. DOH!
Since you mentioned keeping the original six cylinder and being on a budget, you might like to see THIS:
I LOVE how this engine looks. It's a 250 built by member N2Billet. He ground a lot of the casting smooth and painted it with automotive paint out of a spray gun. But honestly, I think you could make a passable, non-show truck copy with a GOOD rattle can job and similar finned parts off eBay. Anyway, as much as I love my warmed over 283 this photo always reminds me a six can be made to look outstanding - in my opinion.
