Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train 302 GMC conversion in a 53 chevy car

I am in the process of installing a GMC 302 and a T-5 trans in my 53 Chevy 210.

Engine and trans are mounted and now I am ready to replace the torque tube setup. I have a 56 Chevy rear end with 3:36 gears I am going to use. What do I do for rear leaf springs? I don't want to use the old worn skinny original springs and with the torque tube mounting setup this would move the rear wheels too far forward.

Will leaf springs froma a tri-five chevy work? Any other suggestions?
