I concur. When I did the Buick conversion I was fully prepared to change the front springs as the original 305 gasser was at least 200 lbs lighter then the 6.2. Well as things happened, my custom budget ran out before the job was completed. That meant the springs would have to wait.

Well we are still waiting. When everything was buttoned up, it turned out I only lost about 1/2 inch in ride hieght. No prob.

As your truck had many a snowplow installed with the bars cranked up, the extra wieght of the engine should be no problem. The wieght of a plow is significantly more then the difference in engine wieghts.
