Default LS7 head spring pocket diameter

I need to upgrade my valve springs, and I have a set that are 1.375 OD. I have understood the spring pocket diameter is 1.300. I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure.


Thanks

Tony

I got you I'm on xbox live and watching NFL highlights will return give me a second. If you go to PAC springs look up there biggest LS spring. Check and see what you got.

No, that is not correct unless you do some trick **** with the spring pockets. Stock is around 1.30", so a 1.375" probably won't fit or might even have an interference fit.

Good looking out KCS. I just knew my partner Grant used some big springs and had it written down. I assume the heads are off, so spring pocket machining vs new springs. As the old NFL motto went you make the call. lol...
