What valve springs?

Okay, Im running the original 1971 valve springs in my motor and need new ones. Im running a Comp cams XE262 (218/224 @.050, .462/.469 lift) and the heads are casting 487 from 1971. What springs should I go with? Im looking for a crutch right now, and new heads are pretty much out of the question for now. The tranny must be tended to first
