Re: Need Advice

I would start my search by comparing some Moog replacement stock C10 BBC springs w/some that are spec'd for a C30 BBC/diesel. They might offer extra length to give some lift. Trade off will possibly be rougher ride & prob affect the camber curve which would be noticed in drivability.

You can also look into having some spec'd rate taller springs made from an aftermarket spring company (Eaton Detroit Spring etc). Ride wouldn't change as much if the spring rate remains consistent but again the drivability might suffer.

Some guys have successfully used 2wd lift spindles for an 88-98 but it requires swapping a-arms, calipers, rotors & they're 3" of lift (prob more than it would take to get you level).

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.
