Default Replacement valve springs

I'm putting a comp 68-232-4 in the new engine and I can't seem to find any of the Mopar 5249464 springs in stock anywhere at a reasonable price. Money is tight so replacing the valves is not an option. Machining down the spring pads is a possibility I guess.

I've read that LS1 springs will work somehow.

I tried Oreilly and they only have one spring for our engine that wont do the lift I need. Jegs and Summit have listings for the springs but it's not stock and they have no idea when they are going to get any more of them. The retainers they have.
