Guys,

I'm in the process of purchasing a sweet 427so with all the goodies. Heads are Carrol's signature series, ported/polished with 2.26 / 1/75 valves and Dove shaft assemblies and end support stands. The motor dyno'd at well over 520hp @ 6200 on the first run, running a custom Crower cam at (advertised) 283*dur x .620 int / 287* x .634 exh and 112* separation, with a pair of Holley 715's.

The one component I am not familiar with is the "Beehive" valve springs. Can someone tell me what I have here? Also, the motor ran on a dyno last year, Jan '04. The current owner never backed off the rockers when he put the motor in storage. Should I be concerned?


Thanks, as always, for any input.....
