Leaf springs for 1963 330 with big block?

[Mopar440]

Hi, my car now runs 440ci, 727 & 3.9:1 gears - mainly a weekend cruiser but also the odd trip down the 1/4 mile. Was a 6 cylinder car so has factory 6 cyl leaf springs. Mopar don't seem to list replacement performance leaf prings to suit a 63 330 B body but I believe certain A body springs are a direct fit. Can anyone confirm this & also recommend what sort of springs you'd run for this sort of set up - i.e. Super Stock springs, XHD etc? I want to keep the rear end up a bit as I like the rake it has now. What sort of bushes - rubber or what? Thanks guys.

I got a set for my 63 a couple of yrs ago, but they're still under the house...I'll try to get under there and have a look for you on what type they are...I like the arse down low, how mine is now... so if they don't look good I'll be selling them down the track.

If your not interested in staying completly stock looking. I would recommend the Caltrac split monoleaf suspension. After spending the weekend at the Mopars at the strip and talking to the great guys that were there, its the way to go for a street/strip setup. I would recommend talking with Travis from Caltrac. I just ordered mine from them with a setup one inch above stock ride height. Have my old school superstock spring up for sale locally.
I got some excellent feedback from the guys on this forum to.

Yes, all a-body springs and the '63 Dodge use the same length/segment.

Personally, I bought the # 456/457 Superstock springs and they look fine on the car after they've been on a year. They settled some.

Mine was a /6 car originally too.
