Looks like the LS 1511 ML would be the one I'd choose.

Gen III Hemi heads have different length valves form the factory depending upon which cylinder head it is.

For the longer valve heads we use a PAC-1427 conical spring.

I'll be using the early heads with the shorter valves..

I have three sets...may use the Eagle heads with the longer valves if I do another one of these.

Is it possible to use a lighter spring when a Ti valve/retainer is used?


Just testing the waters to how this deal will perform.

Cheaper to build than the sbm I have in the works since I have some dealer parts help coming...

With the heads using shorter valves we have used the PAC-1219X springs but, those were street / strip engines not racing engines.
