yep a beehive will fit on a stock head without problems...

26918-16 is the spring you want.

They are going to be tight.... I would cut the spring pockets to put them on.

Bret swears by the beehives.I have not used a set yet, all my engines lately have been mech rollers.
If anybody knows he will.

Hell,if I had some of these peoples money,I'd burn mine.
The last set of springs I bought ,Ti retainers,cups and locks was over $600.00 for a mechanical roller.
