I kinda figured that they were bent un-naturally. But, I'm thinking that the 6cly springs would be the best, as they're going to drop some anyway once the passenger side shock is freed up. I'd bet that the 327 is a couple hundred pounds heavier than the six, but I also won't have any front sheetmetal either, so that point is moot. I actually was thinking of an old hotrodder's trick, and taking a couple of inches off with my cutoff tool. Worth trying at first, IMHO, and might make them a little stiffer and more "race car like".
