Stock Valve Spring height

I talked to a comp cams tech guy and he told me that they do have valve springs to fit my heads without machining he just needs to know the valve spring height.
So my question is what is the factory valve spring height on a 350 TPI motor so that I can get the right springs ordered for my cam finally...I don't wanna hear oh you should machine the heads...that's not my question please just answer my question.

Re: Stock Valve Spring height

stock is usually 1.8-1.9" installed. its best to measure for yourself. is the engine disassembled?
