Beehive LS6 springs, what else do I need?
Ok building my 350. Going to use LS6 springs, I know there are some special retainers I need to use but I don't know the part # . I've tried searching but I cannot find the correct #. anyone have that? Anything else I need besides the retainers? What about valve locks?

Comp makes a retainer for 11/32" valves and beehive springs - uses stock locks.
If you're running 8mm valves, then stock LS1 retainers and locks work.
