comp cams xfi 268 and 113 heads

I'm in process of building 350 and need help with the heads. I have already purchased a used set of 113 heads and comp cams hyd roller 268 xfi cam. I need help determining what valve springs to run. Can I use the comp cams 918 beehive springs without machine work to the heads? If not what needs to be done? Is there a better/cheaper way to handle lift of this cam? Trying to do this on a budget with least amount of work possible. BTW I plan on running stock rocker arms with 1.5 ratio instead of the 1.6 the cam is rated at.

The 918's should fit. Just make sure you have the correct pressures when installed. That's the most important thing.

I think maximum lift on 113's without machining is .525
The XFI with 1.5 rockers is more than that.

Yea I just checked and there is a good chance it will hit the guides.
Besides that is a lot of lift for those heads
