One thing I noted I went on one hell of a front end diet with heads, intake other items. I will have to drive but I get to lower her down probably close to an inch and a half. The lighter front end from engine trim is noticeable and was on the hoist as well.
I did aluminum radiator, and removed power steering/power brakes and aluminum intake/headers, the 383 sits where the slant six did! It’s crazy how much the weight off of the nose make a difference.
