I have to order new springs for the front of my V8 bugeye
the motor now weighs 575 and the added weight of the turbo 350 trans brings it up more.
I need to know the weight of a sprite motor to have new springs made.
Anyone?
thanks

According to my Haynes manual the engine weight is 246 pounds and the transmission wasa 44 pounds. 290 pounds total. Would love to know if you find a source to wind springs to that diameter, I couldn't find anyone who could make them for my conversion.
