Looking for some advise concerning the springs in the front end of a 68-400 bird. Putting a 455 in it from a 72 and am concerned about the added weight on the springs. Currently, the originals are in there, so they could probably stand replacing anyway (shocks too?). Any advise on type, brand, size etc would be apprecated.

Thanks,

DJ

The 400 and the 455 weights the same.
