got a quick vortec head question
i have a set of 601 heads that i just put bigger valve springs on for my cam, and yesterday i just found a set of Vortec heads that have been cleaned and checked for cracks and are 100% good for 130 dollars for the set. working at a parts store works wonders on finding people wtih spare parts. but the question is can i use the valve springs i just put on my 601 heads on the vortecs? would i need any machining?

yeah thats kinda what i had thought, i might just get them and put them aside for another motor. how would a set of vortecs with .05 over 12:1 dome pistons with stock style 350 crank and rods be? to much compression? the pistons wouldnt hit the heads would they?

Run 918 ls1 beehive springs and you can run a .525 lift cam w/o cutting anything. The retainers are shorter so that you do not have to cut the valve guides. Not sure on the piston to valve clearance with your application, but on a stock 350 it would not be a concern.
