What "modifications" are needed for running a double spring?
What "modifications" are needed for running a double spring? I understand that the spring seats have to be machined a little to except a double spring. Isn't this something that can simply be done with a dremel and a fine grit sanding bit?

Re: What "modifications" are needed for running a double spring? Josh, there is a tool you use to enlarge them that makes the job super easy. It attaches to a drill and you pretty much just enlarge them with that. Just be careful as you can bust through into the intake port if you are not careful, especially if you are using 6.0l/LS6 heads and/or your heads have been ported quite a bit. Here is a link to one of the tools available:

Words of wisdom. Many many many ls6 heads have been screwed up because of that. You aint seen smoke out a tailpipe until you ride in a car with ls6 heads where the oil goes straight into the intake port
