You need to outboard your front spring hangers to match the chevys width. There are kits out there for this by poison spyder etc.. or do your own. And on the rear you can just change the spring perches to match the rear springs.

thanks i did make my own for the front and i'm now working on the rear, just wasn't sure if thats all that needed to be done. I'm also droppin in a 327 and a 700r4 trans will the stock leave springs hold up. It had a 4 cyclinder when i first got it.

Are you going to have plenty of gearing with the auto and larger tire setup?
