Yeah, Big block weight is close to that of a dressed 6.2 and if your springs that were there were the OE ones they are tired anyways. A fresh set of ones for a big block with air[ maybe even a C20 camper 402auto w/air] would bring the nose back up in the right direction for your truck, and also would help on the braking so that it doesn't dive real hard under a brake load. If you don't have a large sway bar [like one from a 3/4 or 1 ton from say a 81-87 chevy/gmc truck that would help a little as well not on raising the front but the handling. Sounds like a cool swap, I loved the 6.2 I had and a couple of 6.5 turbo as well. Jim
