1967 Cutlass Supreme with a 455 Shocks

I searched around on the site and did not find exactly what I was looking for. I have a 1967 Cutlass Supreme and I am going to be replacing the 330 with a 455. The shocks need to be replaced along with the springs. Since the 455 was not an option when I go to any of the supplier websites (Summit, OPGI) I can only get recommendations for a car with a 330. Can anyone help me determine how to figure out what shocks and springs I should get? Thank you for your help.

Try 67 442 shocks and springs and you will be fine.

If you like the stance of my car you can probably use the springs I used. They were Moog 5272 $98.79 from Rockauto. I'd go with some KYB shocks instead of the Monroe's.

Eric the shocks are still original but the previous owner changed the springs. I need to ask him what ones he put in. I know he put a heavier duty spring in.

Ok, I was just making sure that the rear was lifted with springs and not something else. I couldn't remember what he did. So the stuff I used should get you there.
