If you have any trucker buddies ask where they buy replacement springs for trucks and trailers, I would bet theirs a spring place in your town. Springs are not to big of a cost when you go this way, they may re-arch yours for little cost, or the new cost will be a lot lower than you think. just...

I wouldn't look at it as a driver but a core, the small block motor, a bellhouseing and there may a 4 speed in there.

I have PRO 9400's on my rear with a pair of 225 lb springs, I went through the same thing you are, think about this, a 1980 Z28 has a 235 lb leaf set up from what I can remember.
