I can get a set of Ls1 valve sprigs from a friend of mine for pretty cheap right now; he's rebuilding his valvetrain. I have heard of people using these on their 3.8 engines. Can it be done? If so, would I see any gain by doing this without any other mods? If not, what would I have to replace along with the springs? Eventually I would like to do a cam/heads setup.

yes they will work... You won't really gain anything. They are a tad bit stronger than our stock springs or the same.Keith - 99 'maro - White M5 - bumpstick and boltons - 13.65 @ 101 N/A

you'll need to get the LS1 retainers as well as the springs... stock locks work perfectly.Comment

It's not worth the work to just replace the springs and even if you were doing a cam, i wouldn't suggest running them, they're a very weak spring.<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>Comment
