1970 mustang 429 springs
I put a 429 in my 1970 mustang, and no suprise, it sits a little low in the front. Are there heavier duty springs I can install? Perhaps something that interchanges from another vehicle. Thanks

In my '68 Mustang I ran springs from a Mustang GT with a 390 that had air conditioning. I remember they were beefier to handle the extra weight. With a 351 Cleveland it sat nice and high.

Sounds good. I have a set of slip fit headers but could not get them to fit around the power steering pump. I went with the stock exhaust manifolds into duals, and it breaths pretty well. I'll keep my eyes open for some heavier springs. Thanks for the info.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
