Ls7 springs in 243 heads
My Dad has a stock LS1 that we'll eventually put in his 67 Chevy II. I've got a set of 243 heads to go on it after freshen up by a local guy. This car will be a cruiser with a 4L60e and likely a 3.73 rear gear. My question is are the LS7 springs decent on a stock LS1? Will they be adequate down the road with a real mild bolt in cam? If not now is obviously the time for different springs but we already have the new LS7 springs. Thoughts and advise appreciated. Thanks

More LS7 Spring on LS1
Seems like LS7 spring is not a good choice overall. It is possible to fit the LS7 spring. Maybe a max of .550 lift from what's mentioned the links above due to install height.
Lots of better spring choices like one of the BTR .660" Lift spring kits.
