His and Her 69's OP pro stock H Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,559 Oh	Anyone know of someone looking for an original motor and trans for a 38 Ply coupe. A friend has one for sale in the engine section. He is rodding the 38 and is installing a 354 hemi so he doesn't need it. Also does anyone have a photo of a stock rear spring pack ?? He is thinking his have been changed because the car sits REALLY high in the back. I told him I thought it was a stack of 8 springs was stock. Thanks David

As for the leafs, that sounds about stock to me. BTW, I put a 79 Newport 9 1/4 in my 38, almost perfect fit. Stock leafs are like 2" wide, Newport's are 2.5", so the perches need addressing, however you decide to go with the leafs. I ended up putting the Newport's front suspension in, after I sectioned about 4" out of it as it is too wide stock. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
