Re: i have a question

I would like to know also. Some catalogs show the same pn for both 6 cyl and small blocks and I have seen some that have a different pn.

I used my stock 6cyl springs on my 69 when I put a 350 on it and didn't see much difference... But I did mostly just city/hwy driving. No off road.

Re: i have a question

They were different from the factory, but now the same spring applies to both applications if you buy new.

Re: i have a question

Thanks I was wondering the same thing. I just got some junkyard small block springs and about to put them in, I didn't think about that!
