Can I get by with the small block front springs im my 65 should I drop in an iron headed BB ?

Would appreciate hearing from someone who has been down this road before. Thanks.

You can do it but won't be happy...........................unless of course you like a saggy, bad handling front end car.

That why the SB and BB springs are different.

going down that road now. thought it would work...now 4 months into aluminum headed big block i am trying 1" spring rubbers to help with a very small amount of rubbing and stiffen the springs a little. however i do have 2" drop spindles so that complicates matters for me. chances are i will replace though. tommy
