I hope that you bought them real cheap... The parts cost almost as much as a complete set.
Your going to need:
32 locks: 8406
16 viton seals: 8414
16 titanium retainers: 8408

yeah I was looking at that, could I just by some replacement steel chromemoly like from compcams, cause I ain't spinning my stock 98' short block past 6300rpm anyway. Looks like I may have to go to my local machine shop and ask to see if they know of a different retainer that doesn't cost a fortune that I could use. Does anybody else know of a different retainer that can be used on these springs.
