beehive spring recommendations

[my68barracuda]

looking for an alternative to the Comp 26995 / 26986 beehive springs
for both of those the 100+ closed pressure and around 300 open pressure and the
installed height of 1.700 to 1.800 works,
But the 200.00 price and another 55.00 for retainers has me looking around.

What heads are you using? Valve stem diameter?

What heads are you using? Valve stem diameter?

Slant six’s and Mopar Small blocks share the same stock installed height and spring diameters. In the later years the slant and the 318 shared the same valve spring from the factory. And 340 valve springs are a common upgrade on slants.
For my build, I am using 11/32 stem diameter Ford 289 valves, the installed will end up in the 1.600 range. I am needing springs that can handle .570 lift, with around 100 closed and 300 open for pressures. And I am wanting to use beehive springs.

Look into the 787-16 comp retainers, as far as springs go these might be an option

Chevrolet Performance Valve Springs 12499224

I run them in my small block at 1.75 install and .550 lift cam. Thats not with the 787 retainer though as i have mag heads.
