Googled it, prices/availability all over the place this place usually has stuff
https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/moog,8236,coil+spring,7512.
Recommend not cutting first , we put them in my sons stoch 289-4spd car, too high. Sometimes Moog stuff is too tall, and does not settle. Might be just right for your setup first try.
For comparison ,I have 8236 1/2 coil cut sits about stock/level with 28" front, 29" rear slick. Mine weights 3150 no driver, Glass fenders, bumpers ,hood, decklid, alum heads, intake, radiator, lexan windshield, plastic race seats, lightweight steel doors, no heater box ect.
I like to keep it about stock height so headers clear on/off trailer.
Good luck maybe see you at Glory Days Byron, say hi to your Dad, Bob

I had Moroso 47160 no cuts with roller spring mount CalTrac 90-10, upper control arm limiter.
Spring bend out some as the roller did not resist.
It was too bouncy, hit the stop, dropped down+up a few times. inconsistent. Ride height about stock with 28" front runner.
Put Moog 8236 small block/6 cylinder with 1/2 coil cut, poly bushing spring mount, CT 90-10 same height, spring not bent out.
Seems to lift/launch same with no bouncing, 60 ft more consistent.
Moog 8236 uncut was one coil shorter than 47160, same diameter coil. Big block old spring bigger coil diameter but shorter.
Added one shock rubber bushing under the mount to move the shock down prevent over extending.
If you want to try the 47160 or roller mount let me know, Bob.
