Technical Period Correct Super Stocker Stance

I'm currently building a 1961 Ford Fairlane (cheap Galaxie) into a very period correct super stocker. Nothing on this car will be modern appearing (steel wheels, 7" cheater slicks, wide whites, etc.). I'm going to soon order my new springs, front & rear and want to nail the correct early 60's SS/S stance. This would be nose up, rear down as in the photos.
My question is how much drop is good for the rear and how much up for the front? Eaton spring offers up to 3" drop in the rear which I'm leaning towards and up to 3" raise in the front. I'm leaning toward only 1"rise for the front.

Do you guys think this will give me what I'm looking for? Thanks

 

1" to 2" in the front and don't forget the shocks. You need 90/10s in the front and 70/30s in the back. I'm old enough to remember when these cars were new and on Sunday there would be maybe thirty SS cars in the cl***. You would not believe how hard some of them would launch on 7" tires. The music coming from long tube headers on a 425HP 409 Chevy is a song you can't get out of your head.

 

so your car will not be a race car?

 

It will not be a full time race car. Sort of a street/strip deal with it leaning more towards strip with limited street running. Definitely not a daily driver or a long hauler...

 

Throw your tool box in the rear and don't forget the spare with concrete. LOL

 

Pretty sure lift and drop in ss became a rule book issue...my memory is 2 and 2

 

That poncho is parked in the ditch. If it were on level ground it would probably be closer to level.

I wasn't old enough to be building cars in '60 just barely old enough to stand up to pee. But when I was older it seems to me that the old racers talked about not actually raising the front just dropping the rear. When you drop the rear it naturally raises the front by unloading the springs a little bit.

here is a thought though try not going to extreme with it. Keeping the change subtle will keep everyone guessing.

 

Since back then cl***'s where designated a lot by weight verse cubic inches and especially in super stock where some non stock changes could be made a lot of racers relocated things like the battery and such , as well as ballast weight to the rear most area of the trunk to aid in traction. I was always mad at my uncle for doing that to his 406 tri powered 1962 Galaxie which he raced mostly in the local gas cl***es but had he wanted to run N H R A say down at Indy in the mid to late sixties he was cl*** legal. I just always thought it looked like the springs where broke . I always like my cars raked the other way!! Larry

 

Seems like they went to a lot of trouble to move everything possible rearward. As above 90/10 shocks in front, big battery in back, spares full of water etc. The guys with big bucks did lots more I mean lots. Some of the SS guys (winners) were way ahead of the tech guys.

 

In that time frame to aid traction and launch they would go to the junk yard or dealer and buy a pair of front coil springs for a Station Wagon and install them.
Then in the back some put bricks or lead inside of the spare tire which if you have ever done that, you will know that it becomes a 100+# weight box. I've seen ones that were nearly 200#.
Then some ran Drag Master Traction Bars or a home made similar devise.

That was pretty much it.
