Re: swaped bbc need to raise2"

only options are different springs, or adjustable springs seats, ie weight jacks. The latter will cost more than just springs... however, with the weight of the BB, you need stiffer springs than the stock offerings

What springs are in there now? How sacked out are they? You might be able to get away with a set of new stock V8 springs.

That's the first thing that came to my mind also. New springs are probably all it needs.
