I'm contemplating a cam swap for my 3500, when I remembered I had a set of comp valvespings for an LT1 build that was abandoned, would they fit the LX9?

They look a little stiff and I doubt your going to need that kind of pressure to control valves as small as we have on all but the most radical cam. Also in any application a beehive spring is going to outperform a straight spring any day of the week.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

well, I have the springs already, and I could pull the inner spring to lighten them up some... I'm trying to get a cam swap done on a pretty tight budget."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man. I have broken with society for reasons which I alone am able to appreciate.

I wouldn't run without a damper spring in them if you pull the inner. They aren't beehive or ovate wire, so the resonate frequency could be in your powerband, causing valve float. Sell them and get better springs, or keep your motor stock since its a budget build. Im not sure if the retainers those springs use will work with the rocker arms, so you would have to check that.Ben

10-4, I guess I'll try selling the LT1 parts and buying 60*parts. anyone want a comp cams 07-467-8 cam for an LT1? it's an XFI series as linked to below...
I also still have the springs linked in the op"I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man. I have broken with society for reasons which I alone am able to appreciate. I am therefore not subject to it's stupid laws, and I ask you to never allude to them in my presence again."Comment

You should be able to unload small block parts on your local craigslist pretty quick. Or if you still have a receipt you may not be able to return them but an exchange might be possible provided they were never used.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

I doubt the speed shop will take them back after 2 years, of sitting on my shelf... I've got them up on a couple of sites for now."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man.

Hey if you got the receipt and only want an exchange then you never know. I returned 2 10" Flex A Lite fans I never used after 2.5 years. I called ahead and he said sure as long as there was no damage to the box and nothing inside was used or missing. At least you will get full credit. Its at least worth a phone call. If you sell them online you may only get 1/2 your money back.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

stock Ls1 springs are supposed to be good to 490 lift do you guys think they would take 496? I got a set for free and would love to use them instead of buying new ones."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man.

LS1 springs aren't very stiff. I gave all mine away so i can't measure coil bind to see how much you would have, but I wouldn't run LS1 springs on most cams anyway.Ben
