What are these springs? 
And would they be too stiff for stock pushrods/rockers/lifters/cam off a 110k mile motor at 6000rpm? Bought the heads already ported and assembled with 2.02/1.56 valves and these springs, dont wanna spend the extra $$ on new valvetrain.

There's absolutely no way to tell from that picture. My educated guess would be the Crane 99893s (they are dual coil). You could pull one of them off and using a spring compressor determine its coil bind height, spring pressures, and OD/ID and determine that way.
What about the guy you bought them off of...wouldn't he know?
You're putting ported heads on a stock cammed motor? Why not at least upgrade to 1.6 rockers?

Im doing impala head gaskets too, bring compression around 11:1. Ill do the valvetrain in time if this motor lasts, just wanna see what kind of gain each piece gives me. The guy I got the heads from got them already assembled off of an engine someone sold him, didnt know exactly what the parts were on the heads.

Like stated above they appear to be a Crane dual spring. They look alot like my old Crane 10308-1's but we cannot tell just by looking at them so go ahead and do what RamAir95TA said to do.
