I have had hotchkis front springs new in the box for a couple years and am finaaly gonna get around to putting them in but now im going with a big block and my original plan was to use a small block.
Will these still work or should I just sell them and get the right ones???
I want the car to be a little lower thats why I bought them but will it be to low after a BBC is installed??
Thanx

You will probably be fine. Your options, as far as if your spring is too low is to get spring spacers (steel or the rubber ones that fit between coils) or buy new springs and sell your current ones.

If the springs are a 1" or 1 1/2 " drop spring, you could be too low with a big block. But if you don't have a any headers hanging low, it may look real good.
