Private Classifieds / Wanted: Valve springs
« Last post by fairlaniac on Today at 08:12:36 AM »Looking for some comparable springs to the Comp #972 spring 1.46 O.D. x 1.06 I.D. to go with my Comp 282S solid lifter cam, I’d be interested.
Since putting a 427 in my ’66 Fairlane, I have the short block 390 that was in the car just sitting around. I have a Comp 282S cam and shell lifters in it and the push rods. I decided I am going to put it in my ’78 “beater” F150 and send the I6 on it’s merry way. I have a set of C6AE-R heads with about 2500 miles on a rebuild using stock hydraulic cam springs. The springs that came with my 282S kit are gone as they were on a set of 428CJ heads that sold a few years ago. I have no hot rod plans for the engine other than what is there already. Does anyone have any slightly used or newish valve springs they want to unload? I figure I’ll swap springs and retainers and bolt them on to my short block for the swap. The lesser amount of new parts will keep along the theme of the truck. If anyone has comparable springs to the Comp #972 spring 1.46 O.D. x 1.06 I.D. to go with the solid lifter cam, I’d be interested.
