I wish I remembered the person and configuration I saw with Chevy small block springs on a Mopar small block Stocker.

I've seen other similar rules discussed here allowing something new, but being unable to use it without doing posted illegal mods. The Edelbrock small block Mopar heads come to mind.

The small block Chrysler has a better foundation for springs than a small block Chev, not sure why anyone would do that, it would be a step backwards.
