Hi, own a '74, did post before, I think the space between wheel and fender is too large,

The car had originaly a 454 engine in it, now its a 402 BB, and the a/c has been deleted.


Which springs do I need to drop it, since I think the spring that are under the car aren't the originals. It's a daily driver and I don't want tyre rub.

Want it to look like this:

thanks
Marcel

From the picture it looks like you need about a 4" drop, no one makes springs that drop it that much. However your front end looks real high and maybe the wrong springs are in it now. I would try a set of lowering springs (Jeg's or Summit) and see what happens.
