Approx weight 3400. No doubt most of that weight's on the nose, even with aluminum heads, intake & radiator and 'glass hood. Seems the "default" spring is always the 002/003 (rated 160#/in for 3000# stick cars per MP), but I'm wondering if the 456/457 setup (125#/in, 3400# auto cars) wouldn't be the better choice. I'm hip to the torsion-bar adjustment, but also question static ride height and ride. CalTrac/ladder bar/4-link stuff isn't an option at this point.
