I have, put away somewhere, a set of Comp springs that I got for a custom Comp solid roller. The cam had .659-.666 lift They were run for less than an hour---only while running-in the engine on the dyno. You can have 'em for $50 plus shipping if you're interested. I have a set of 10 degree TI retainers as well, and they may all be in the same place. We can talk if you want. I'll try to dig them out this coming weekend if you like. Let me know!

Are you looking for a drop in spring? I ask because the 930-16 comp spring requires the spring bosses/ valve guide bosses to be machined so the double spring has a flat surface to sit on... If you don't want to have these extra machining processes done.... there is a valve spring made by PBM that I've used in the past that is a drop in. They were cheaper ( less than a $100) than the comp springs at the time. The part number was 3500... PBM3500.. There is also the 3100 which also will fit a FE head.. but they are a little light on pressure for a 6000 rpm FE with a 0.600 lift cam..  I've used the 3100 spring on smaller cams with less rpm. . obviously don't use the stock two piece retainers.... hope this helps..
