Default 650 lift springs/stock cam

i will probably put my car back to stock if it doesnt sell as is and dont really want to hassle with taking of the springs, they have roughly 25k on them

will they be to much spring for a stock cam?

Well not so much but they really are overkill. Will it run? Sure it will. Won't have any valve float either

Thats not absolutely true, The valve springs will be about .200-.250 from coil bind.

Anyways, I wouldnt run big duals springs on a stock camshaft.

I wouldnt think it would do anything, maybe extra weight.

If you do so, keep hardened pushrods, putting stock ones back in will be the weak link.
Will it work, yes, is it recomended? Not really

Kind of messes up the new owner as well if he has issues or wants to work on the car. At a minimum I would tell him and give him the stock parts.
