Camber

Hey guys I am looking for some imformation on front spring for my 66 F-100 BB. I am rebuilding the entire truck and it initially had a 352. I changed the engine and put in a 3202 which is much lighter. When I put the front end back together the camber is way off. I am assuming it is due to the change in engine weight. I was told to get some new front springs from a truck with a 302, but when I went to the local spring shop I was told that Ford used the same front spring no matter what the engine was and to correct the problem they would have to bend the front beams, which I know is done for proper alignment. Has anyone else had this problems and, if so, what did you do?

Ford used 2 springs (6 cyl. and V-8).If the stance of the truck is where you like it,just go ahead and have the I-beams bent.

Thanks SRD, that is kind of what the local spring guy said. I jusst seems strange that they would not have springs rated for each engine's weight, but I guess it is a money issue. Cheaper to use just two springs.
