No kit that I know of. You can get part numbers for springs, keepers and locks and GMPP guideplates if you need those at gmpartsdirect.com and order from them or Dal or Jason Cromer. Do a search for their phone numbers if you don't have them. Then all you need is a spring compressor.

If you go w/ LT4 spring you should /need to get the LT4 retainers/locks. The stock LT1 retainers/locks are not used to the added spring of the Lt4 sprigns as they are stiffer. Especially if your motor has more then 70K on it. You dont want to drop a valve and blow your motor. Get the right hardware.

If you don't have a deep socket set, buy one now as you will need it sometime. As for a kit you might just want to buy the hotcam kit. Its about $550 last i heard and comes with rockers, springs, retainers, i believe locks and even a cam if you decide to add that later.
