So I am looking at either getting a full 97 explorer engine, but If my bottom end is still ok, I am going to just get the heads, intake, and new valve train to go back in.

I have these valve springs left over from my 383 stroker LT1. WHat do you guys think? is it possible? they are more than strong enough to handle the load and they are super low miles. What do you guys think?

Anyone? Or is it so blatantly obvious, I need to be slapped?

Need to know the spring specs.

What's the installed height?
What's the coil bind height?
What's the spring pressure at installed height?
What's the spring pressure ot open height?(Whatever the cam lobe lift times rocker ratio is)
