When I assisted in building a Street Stockand Pro Stock for Fonda Speedway; we used a spring rater to make sure we had the "proper" spring at each corner of the car.

The  spring size may all be the same but they are designed to compress
at different rates depending on the car weight. Also springs compresss
differently . Some compress at a steady rate as others the more they are
compressed  the more they resist compression. Changeing AMC springs is a
pain in the  A$$
even with the propper spring compressor, I have one and is dangerous.
The old mechanic at the AMC dealer where I worked at 33 years ago was
blind in one eye because a spring came out and hit him in the head.  I
know you are on a budget Lu but  in my opinion pop for the propper V8
springs and be done with it.  Just my 2 cents. My motto is "Do It Once,
Do It Right The First Time & Forget About It"
