You can get them from FFR for around $62 for the set. They are on their website. You will also need the FE headers and sidepipes too if the FFR your looking at uses the "J" pipes with the reverse mounted OEM 302 headers. Front springs are recommended at 500 lbs but some use the stock 450's with no issues. All of these can be purchased form FFR . HOWEVER EARLY MK1's are unable to accept the bigblocks without driverside foot box changes. These are the FFR's where the steering shafts goes through the FRONT of the footbox. Mine is FFR 1990 and is one of the newer MK1's to accept the big block with the steering shaft going into the side of the footbox. It has a fiberglass cover to hide the hole in the footbox the steering shaft goes through. I'm not sure what number FFR went to the new footboxes but my kit was purchased in 2000. So I'd check on the FFR number and have a look at that footbox first. If it's under number (1990k) take a good look. If your over my number it's fine. Gotta love those big blocks. Are you planning and sideoiler or topoiler? G.
