comp 981-16 is the easy answer. They pretty much work for just about everything, fit stock pockets and work with most flat tappet cams, such as your 214/224 summit cam there.

Yes you could do that.

On the other hand, help us understand (starting with yourself) the benefits of doing $300 worth of head work in order to put on $100 springs that are well beyond what your proposed $50 POS cam really needs.

In other words, consider a cam designed within the last 40 years or so, first; before spending other money on overkill that will give you ZERO bang for the buck if you use the olde generic "RV+1" cam.
