i have 351 stroker with victor jr. heads. The cam i am going to use recommends that i use valve springs with these specs:

* Outside diameter: 1.540 in.
* Inside diameter: .697 in.
* Seat load: 161 lbs. at 1.900 in.
* Open load: 418 lbs. at 1.350 in.
* Coil bind: 1.225 in.

However, I have springs with these specs:

OD=1.50, ID=1.060, Seat load=169, open load = 466

The cam reads: duration @50 is 242/248, lift is .608/.614 on a 110 LSA

both are dual valve springs for a solid roller.
i am thinking that the springs i have will be fine? am i wrong?

on the new springs, at what lift is the open pressure??

also the installed height... it is all very easy to figure out.

i can tell you have never done this before [Razz]
