spring swap pics Here are a few pics of my spring swap. I was realy surprised how easy it was. This was my first time changing springs. It all comes down to tools. I used the crane spring tool, a moroso spark plug air hose kit, and a pro form valve seal tool.
Could be a old valvetrain, and he is doing it for "insurance" reasons. I know a couple people that broke vavlesprings with a stock cam, and they went with double's to prevent that from happening again.

Cause I have a set of kooks with off road pipes and cutouts sitting in the garage. And a ls6 intake, F2 TNT kit and a bunch of bolt ons. The car was 100% stock till a week ago when I bent a pushrod and decided to do everything all at once. Here is a pic of the pushrod.

"Spring Swap" and "FUN" should never be used in the same sentence. Hopefully in another month or 2 I will be able to get it on the dyno and tuned. Then the fun will begin. Now that I think of it the real fun will begin after I change my clutch after the dyno tune. I bought a whole clutch and hydralic system b4 I bent my pushrods.

just out of curiosity, how do exhaust manifolds of any sort determine what type of valve springs you need/want?
