Patriot 8401-BSBC with SA rockers?

Anyone running the patriot springs with Crane gold SA rockers?

Im trying to find a good spring to use with the crane gold SA rockers and I have read that the crane 10308 kit doesent fit well with the crane rockers due to the big retainer etc.

What spring choises do I have?

nope, those wont fit with SA rockers.

The PACV 1218 bee hive springs will work and the Crane 99893 springs (same spring that comes in the 10308-1 kit) will work along with a different retainer/lock set up. If going this way, get some Comp 4770-16 locators also.

What lift or what cam are you looking for springs for?

Thank Lloyd. The cam will either be my old LE1.2, cc503 or something like.

The pac1218 springs will work? I thought when using the +0.05 locks the retainer will sit too high and the tabs on the SA rocker wont have as much to align on? But I hope im wrong though

the Comp 611-16 locks will work for that and clear the SA tabs.

You should be able to get 1.750" even with stock valves and this will allow a .600 lift cam.

What is the lift on the cam? If this is for an LE1 cam or CC 503, you will have no problem.

Nice. Yes it will be the le1 or something in that range, no radical high lift.
