Always wondered about those. Do you know spring specs and installed height? And what does use for retainers? Thanks,

I honestly dont know all about these, have a friend who builds heads suggest them for me with my 350 build. Look up Alex spring for vortecs or call him he is a great guy and can answer better than I can. Only thing I was told I'm missing is shims, which can be ordered or picked up from some shops I've heard. Here's what's on the package
130lbs @ 1.790"-valve closed installed height
[email protected] lift
Rate-365
Average coil bind- 1.150
Viton valve seals 11/32"x.552"
Tried to upload pics but it says they're too big. Email me at [email protected] and I can send you pics.

Those specs are comparable to the Comp Cams Beehive springs for Vortecs, but $30 cheaper. Would make a good deal for someone wanting more valve lift out of their stock Vortec heads. I'm interested but more interested in saving up money for other things lol. Good luck with your sale.

Building a vortec is further down on my list of things I need to do than I'd like, but if I was building one, I'd for sure hit these up.
Good luck with your sale.

Have you tried Craigslist, eBay, or asked Alex if he'll accept a return?
