Buggy spring vs coil spring design? I think the only motor used in the buggy spring was a 289, so that rules out the Big Blocks entirely. How could they be compared then?

In the "road test" I referenced above that was a 289 buggy spring car vs a 427 coil spring car. The only other way to compare would be a "hy-bred", a new 289 FIA with 427 coil spring suspension running a small block.

In the old pics of the 289 Cobras you can see a LOT of body roll, and they sat up kind of high. The suspension adjustments with the buggy springs was extremely limited. Coil was far superior in that regard.
