I love this car, nice car. I have a question what springs did u use in the front? Are they the stock springs?

I'm also putting a BBC on my 78 malibu but I'm not sure what springs to put in, or if i could use the stock ones.

If you have a v-6 in there now, most definately get new ones that's for sure...Once you get the motor/transmission in you should weigh the front end and then get a set or moroso trick springs that are rated to your weight 8)

It has a 305 now but will be replaced by a 454 BBC. I want to keep the stock hight look.

This was a factory 305 car. So I left the original springs in to see what it looked like. And this is what I got. I think it sits pretty good. I didn't want to buy new springs and have the front end sticking up in the air.
