How much lower with Big Block

[198plus]

Just trying to figure out how much lower the front of my truck will sit with BBC with stock springs.......I've got 2'' drop springs for rear. Anyone have some pics with bbc stance with stock springs......Thanks

So the springs are the same for small block and big block trucks?

I think the BBC only weighs about 100 lbs more than the SBC, so you could get someone to stand on the front bumper and get an idea.

The '63-'67's never came from the factory with big blocks.

But what about all of those high priced superduper big block "corvette option" trucks I see for sale???!!!

I have a set of door stops in the garage-I mean aftermarket springs that are made to drop our truck 2 inches when u install a big block. I forget who they were made by . I bought them on accident I thought they were regular dropped springs-I am gonna put in a sbc-Oh well.

There is a differant part number for the big block spring vs the small block, napa used to have them, the big block springs are 1 inch shorter, higher spring rate, big blocks weigh 150 lbs heavier...
