my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

Got a package from Summit, tell ya what I got!

Gasket Kit FEL-KS2114 - Fel-pro gaskets (which I like) and every gasket is included for the entire engine - EVERYTHING! Valve seals, rear main seal, you name it, it's in there. All for 57.97. You cannot come close to this price buying the individual sets at your local parts store.

EDL - 5877 - These valve springs are almost a direct replacement for a factory 340.
340 springs - 90/230
Eddys 5877 - 90/240
Low cost of 47.77 and a brand name! Best of all, designed to work with factory retainers and all !!!!!!!
Although I haven't tried the Eddy's version yet, the factory 340 spring (when new) will easily turn mildly built small blocks to 6000 rpm's, or a hair more. I don't like to "over spring" any engine. Adds friction to and wear to the valve train. I figured the factory 318 springs, having 120,*** miles and being 40 years old could use a "fresh'n up", and these should do the trick.
As you all know, spend over 100 bucks and shipping is free with summit. My total was 105.74, so free shipping and we'll say 106.00 against the budget.
