Hi guys I have a 67 galaxie which is the 3sp manual. The return spring in the clutch linkage is broken. Not sure how I can get around fixing it any ideas? Im going to keep the 3sp manual box which was in the car behind a 6cylinder. Going to a 289 and from what Ive read that box should be good to bolt up behind the 289 as its the same as the 4sp toploader just one less gear. Its the 14 bolt cover box not the earlier one. Also will the front suspension springs be ok for the extra weight of the 289?

Yeah I guess worst case scenario the front end will be a little lower. I have an alloy intake on the 289 an might swap on some alloy heads which lighten it considerably.
Still not sure what to do about the broken clutch spring. I really dont want to go to the trouble of converting to a hydraulic clutch but it may be the only option.
