Cam ID'd!

Hi! I finally figured out that cam I was trying to ID a few weeks ago. It's the M-6250-M50 as we figured it might be. This is not a very radical cam, made mostly for torque at lower rpm's. Still, I have a use for it. Would you care to offer a suggestion (or anyone else reading this) as to what springs to use?
Thanks.

I've been snooping around, and while I can find plenty of references to that cam I can't find diddley on valve spring recommendations. I'm go out on a limb here and say that since it's a low to mid-range cam you can probably use stock valve springs with it. Certainly stock 351W Cobra "R" valve springs anyway...! (I know, that helps a bunch...!)

Yea, I couldn't find anything either. Thanks for looking! I have a bunch of stock springs, but they are old. Guess I'll try to search out the R springs. Also, I'm putting this in a 302 (I know about the firing order) so I'm guessing the 302 pushrods will be fine. Thanks again.
