Are LT4 & LT1 spring seat diameters the same?

Waaaayyyy back in the day I bought LT4 heads from Jim Pace. They came with dual valvesprings but now they come with single springs. I need to know if these springs will fit on an unmodified LT1 spring seat. Or if anyone knows the diameter of an unmolested LT1 spring seat, that would work too. Thanks!

On my stock LT1 heads the diameter of the round metal piece that the spring sits on is 1-5/16" Forgot what that piece is called though. The stock springs look to be the same diameter too.
