Default Crane Valve Spring Compressor

Anyone have the Crane valve spring compressor for the LT1 in the DFW area? Maybe someone could hook me up and let me borrow it for some collateral. I'm also looking for an installed spring height measuring tool as well. I would be interested in buying used tools as well.

MDR just so ya know if nobody comes through for tools, Autozone sells an $8 spring compressor tool that you cat cut down to right where the bend is located, then using whatever thread size the bolt is you can just use a ratchet and get the tool under the cowl by the firewall easily, it will compress the springs actually easier than the leverage type. Getting the standard leverage types under the cowl is next to impossible.

Tim's tool works ok.

I have a Crane tool, but it's for a LS1. I was thinking about just drilling the holes a little wider to work on a LT1.
