what valve springs

I bought a comp cam xe262h and I figure I may as well change the springs on the heads. I have no idea what ones to buy, anyone have insight?

They are stock heads for a 350. Im willing to spend up to 200 on them I guess.

Honestly, best bet, call comp, visit their website, and get their recommendation. Then find the spring mnfg. you like and get the correct recommended rate, diam. etc.

Just whatever you do, don't let anyone tell you diesel springs.

what kind of heads? Have they been machined for bigger springs? Have the guides been cut to clear that cams lift?

Call Comp and tell them what you've got.

For drop-in replacement with no machine work, Comp 981, Like Sonix said, or Crane 99848. Same basic deal either way.
