Hmm... Went to Comps website and no mention of Beehive springs for mopars.
I was hoping someone had made this swap and could tell me what parts they used. Chevy or Ford springs? Retainers?

Sure there is; http://www.compcams.com/technical/Catalogs/106-07/288-290.pdf

part number 26995

I'm pretty sure you can use some LS1 springs and retainers on Magnum heads. Never done it, but I have read that guys have. They are cheaper.

I believe your right. The thing with valve springs is a company will make a spring for one but that doesn't mean it can not be used with another. Thats hot rodden folks.

DGC333, thanks for finding that for me. I'd like to make this upgrade for my magnum heads if it doesn't cost too much. I'd like the engine to be able to rev to 5500 RPM.

On my magnum headed 360 LA engine I am using the mopar performance R/T spring which is rated for .525" left and have a .508/.512 lift cam. The engine revs right up to my self imposed 6500 rpm red line.
