68' bird correct springs?
I'm converting my 68 OHC 6 to a 400 car and need the v8 springs.
What should I go with? Not looking to drop the car, just want a stock ride height. |

How about PY's front coil springs, #RFU177?

I just replaced my Cammer with a 400/461. For the Cammer I used the Moog 69 TA ride and handling front springs with a coil cut out and thought it would work OK with the new engine since it was rated for a 400 to begin with. The extra weight caused the front to drop like a rock!
See the pic with my kids and wife standing around the car when my friends gave the Bird back to me after the engine install. I replaced the fronts with Eibach springs with a 1 1/2" drop and KYB shocks. There is 2 fingers of clearance between the top of the tire and the wheelwell on my 235/60/14's up front. Perfect stance in my opinion. Not too high like stock, not too low to bang the headers. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
