I played cheap and got me Crane Valve Spring and Retainer Kits #11309-1 from summit. it read somewhere that they are design to work with the iron heads of the b-bodies instead of aluminum.
if that is true I made a big mistake as I always do. everytime I want to buy something. I get it wrong the first time. help please

10308 is The Crane kit for Alum heads.
Why are you replacing the springs? What are you planning to do? rockers? cam swap?

planning to get 1.6 rr and a cam for next year. the heads are off so I wanna give it a shot right now instead of been putting half off my body inside of the engine bay I'm returning this item and getting the proper one.

I suggest researching some better spring options before buying. I've broken several of the Crane springs with cams lifting only in the low .5xx's.
I've had far better results with the cheap LT4 hotcam springs from GM for about $50 a set, but those would be for mild cams only.
For more aggressive cams, consider some electro-polished springs from here:http://www.competitionproducts.com/d...ts.asp?dept=49
You'll never break them.
