coil springs part #

The parts car I bought came with new a set of coil springs in the trunk. The gentleman I bought the car from said he was planning on putting a big Cadilac motor in the car. There is now name brand on the springs but it does have the part #. It says "#5282, Made in Canada, Tape indicates Bottom Position." This is on a blue lable. The car is a'70 Cutlass. Does anyone know if these springs are rated for a car with a 455 in it? The car I'm restoring has a 350 How much higher will the car sit if I use them and not put in a 455 motor? I can't locate the previous owner. He has moved.

thanks

you won't want to use big block springs for a small block. the front of the car will be to high and will have a stiff ride.
