Default V8 Springs

My question is:
Does anyone have access to a loose stock V8 front spring that they can measure the "free height" and coil wire size (if possible).
Any help appreciated ... John

Also, other spring vendors would be appreciated?
I did some research as I had the same issue. 1969 Camaro Z-28 no a/c works great for my '62 convertible with 428. The springs are shorter but have a higher spring rate. They were very easy to install due to the lower height.
