alot of people put 4 cyl. spring in the front of their windsor cars becasue they offer less resistance and allow for more wieght transfer. the back springs can be replaced with 8 cyl. springs out of a junkyard 302 car. if your willing to put the money in then go for it. it depends on how much it owul dbe worth to you. a running 5.0 complete engine out of a junk yard around here in michigan is 800$ about. you can put that in it and then add lets say 300$ for some new springs and shocks{go with comp. enginering or lakewood. nice and cheep} the car wont be very fast but it will run. add the cost of your body dammage and your lookin at probly close to 2k total with a macco cheepo special paint job. you can grab a 351w and c4/c6 trans on ebay all day long. they go for between 700-1000$ but its engin and trans. probly have to re build it but a 351w with new pistons and good h/c/i/ combo and you got yourself some power goin on. something you can do over the years too. stick in the stocker and build it up if and when you want more power.
