Im not sure quite how im going to lower it. I have 2in blocks now to level it out but was thinking reindex torsions and removing a leaf spring. But whats the best way to go about lowering with leaf springs?

Removing a leaf is just fine. Will make the rear a little softer too.

I wouldn't go more than 2 or 3 teeth on the torsions. 2 is pretty standard. You're gonna wanna look into drop spindles because it will make your camber off and cause extra tire wear.

The second leaf down. Not sure how much though because I did a leaf flip with 3" blocks. Here is the rear of my truck on 18's. ..

Thanks man. Just broke 1500 miles on the new Motor. Went 20 over on the bore, 260 grind cam, 30 over on the crank bearings since the "F" block crank bearings are hella shitty lol, new head, adjustable rockers and all new externals like water pump and shit.

Ordering my weber kit and headers tomorrow or Tuesday. Waiting for my taxes.

How big of a performance difference was it after the rebuild?

When I got the truck, the motor was pretty shot so I'm not sure what stock felt like. Lol. I can spin em in first and second and that's on 18's. Not sure if stock would do that.

I'm sure I will send most of that power come out after the weber and full exhaust is done.

Also, I'm advanced 9 degrees but wouldn't recommend this without a cam.
