I seem to only have two options for valve springs.
Mopar magnums at $300 for everything, or have the head machined for different springs.
Mopar Part No.P5249464 is for the springs, part no. P4452032 Mopar 2.2,8 DEGREES keepers, part no. P4529218 for the retainers
Why is there no stock fitment aftermarket stronger spring?
I want to run something like the COMP SK68-239-4, 262 in - 270ex
This is on a stroker for racing
Or should I just chill out and get the SK68-231-4, 250in - 258ex and go
with stock springs for awhile

And if I am drag racing?
I am strongly leaning towards the ls stuff now.
GM Performance Valve Spring 12499224 $70

97-05 Chevy 346 5.7L LS1 LS6 INTAKE & EXHAUST VALVES $87
INTAKE: .3136" Stem. 2.000" Head.
Chrome Stem
EXHAUST: .3127" Stem. 1.551" Head.
23-8N Stainless. Chrome Stem

Comp Cams 623-16 Valve Locks; Valve Spring Retainer Lock $36
COMP CAMS 774-16 STEEL VALVE SPRING RETAINER $48
That would be $241 plus machine work
