if they are the originals,i don't think i would want to use the "stock" valve springs with either cam choice.



I don't understand why I couldn't? The motor is low mileage unit and it looks okay on the inside from what I can see. My 318 got the K6900 cam when it had around 170k miles and using the stock springs and still is going alright other than the usual high mileage issue.

My car will be mostly a cruiser and for right now I am just doing a budget build on this engine until I see how things go or if I decide go another route.
