360 top end
hi guys, its been a while since ive been in here, still working on getting my 360 together. bottom end is built, stock, but built right, blueprinted, etc, now i have the heads ported and polished, and cut for large cobra jet style valves, im running the stock cam profile, whats a good set of lifters/pushrods/springs/retainers/etc to use for stock replacement.

I bought a set of Comp valve springs, and only 3 of them meet their specs. Two otheres had the damper springs cut a full coil too short. I returned them and picked up a set of Crane springs. Every spring met their specs, which also met the 390 GT and 428 PI specs. I would do as pbear suggests and get springs to match your cam. I am using Crane valve spring retainers and the 2 piece keepers.
I am using Seal Power pushrods and adjustable rocker arms. Rocker arm contact is within spec and system is running smoothly with 0.533 lift. I would recommend bronze guides in the heads. Hope this helps.
