It will need an LS specific valve seal and you'll need to open the shims up about .015 to sit over the guides. A 1218 is PAC's variant of the 918 and the 1518 is the nitride version that is an endurance spring rated for a little bit more lift.

There are better options for eagles and apache heads Gen 3 power 6.22@110, 9.85@135 Follow @g3hemiswap on instagram performance only racing, CRT, ultimate converter, superior design concepts, ThumperCarbs

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Max Weg this is what BES runs on the newer heads and I bought this kit. it comes with a shim pack. springs and retainers. I looked to see if you can piece part cheaper but I couldn't do it. You could probably get away with not buying the retainers which are stupid money. part numbers are there http://www.highhorseperformance.com/PSI_Valve_Spring_Manley_Titanium_Retainer_p/1515springkit2.htm Last edited by sixpackgut; 11/06/15 12:36 PM.

PAC has a 1535 for the older heads that is a direct drop in for the old 5.7/6.1.
