Which springs?

[charlief1]

I'm doing a 4.1 "not really cheap" engine and need an opinion on which springs to buy. The extras are that I have a set of KB 1.6 roller rockers and shafts and was thinking about behives but I'm using an Eldelbrock cam and lifters. Any opinions are appreaciated.

Beehives are Good Springs!

Before you go out and buy springs, what cam are you using, total lift, installed height, type of head, etc, etc. Need to know these numbers before buying springs.

As I said, I'm using the Eldebrock performer with Kenne Bell roller rockers. That's why I'm thinking about the beehives. Better clearance for the rockers.

Need cam specs.

Duration @ .050, 204 int, 214 ex, advertised duration, 208 in, 290 ex, lift with stock rockers, .448 in, .472 ex, 112 lobe seperation but I'm planning to use a 1.6 roller rocker instead.

280 not 208. OOPS!

That cam is good to 5600-5800 rpm so get a spring that will be good to 6000 rpm. Like the ones rec'd on the cam card
