Any of you '67-'68 Camaro small block guys running these? Or are these not the lightest SBC spring that moroso makes? THanks and Merry Christmas to all!!

Brent, I use the 47150 it is a lighter spring then the 47140 and I have to cut 1 coil off.
Your motor is heavier then my 350, so I bet you will have to try the 47150 first without cutting anything off and see were it sets. If it sets to low you will have to go with the 47140.
If it sets a little to high at first don't worry it will settle a inch or so.

We had the the 47150's(im pretty sure) in my Brother's 66GTO...we cut around a coil... i just wasnt sure that i was lookin at the right ones...because it said 47150's fit the 57 Chevs(on line) ... Bryan Phillips told me to go with the lightest SBC springs and most likely have to trim. Thanks Monte... i appreciate the reply... how bout's those 4.88's? Im thinkin i will want to try them, since my trans doesnt have the 2.75 gearset... I have 4.56s to start with... I want this thing to leave!! hehe... I will get my spare ATI 8'' restalled, as well... its only about 4200ish right now... im probably lookin for 5000ish...wouldnt you think?

I have the 47150 springs and did cut a coil off.
With an aluminum headed small block.
