4 to v8 conversion

[4eyepride]

just finished doing the conversion to 5.0 on this car but the car sits lower in the front than the back. and the front end feels really crappy i use the same k member that came on the 4 cylinder car was i suppose to use a v8 k member?

Out of curiosity, do you still have the stock 2.3 springs? I need a set, or at least the rears.

Drag springs?

Eibach springs will sit lower, and yes they generally ride like shit.

I have a set, but...they aren't pretty...You can have them if you pick them up

I'll see if I can get there. One of mine some how snapped in the middle? I appreciate the offer.

Definitely change the springs. You are looking at at least a 200lb difference between the 4 and the 8. It is going to push and feel sloppy.

I have a set of H&R drag springs that will work perfect, let me know.

Great job on the swap, now If Jeff would get his ass in gear he would be done also.

Polishing a turd takes time! Next year I'll be out in it, maybe when it's dry this winter but they are predicting a good amount of snow again.:smash:
