Depemds what cam amd springs you have.The new springs have to be checked for installed height and coil bind amd you have to check the retainers also.I only changed mine because my car is 4 speed and a soled cam that sees 6500 or more all the time.My machinist checked the Source springs and said the would be ok for a htd cam and auto.I installed Comp duals ans retainers and keepers.My total was 200 bucks for him to swap it all 2 head gaskets and he unshrouded the valves amd back cut my valves and cleaned the seatd a tad.Rocky

What MP cam are you running? Like stated, you need to check the installed height and the springs should go with the cam.

As far as clean up, I spent a couple hours working on my stealth heads and had my machinest backcut the valves and re touch the valve job.

They are working well as my 500 is pushing the Dart to 10s with 3.54 gear and all steel bodied street car. Cheesy

The stock Stealth springs should be all you need, the ones I've measured have had about 110-120 lbs seat pressure. I would change the locks to machined ones though.
