Heck my buddy had a 71 Vega with a 350 that he drove then put on
track as a Pro class car and it had stock springs but you might see
about changing to monza control arm and v6 or v8 springs,as some
monzas had deep spring pockets and most vegas have shallow pockets.
You cant run springs for deep pocket arms on shallow pocket arms.
Good luck and dont forget you need monza ball joints to use the
adapters.
