Re: Assuming you have stock LT1 heads
Here it is again for the 100th time............. 
If you want to go with 7 degree hardwarde:
787-16 retainers
648-16 locks
stock or LT4 spring seats
If you want to go with 10 degree hardware (super locks):
795-16 steel retainers, or
794-16 titanium retainers
611-16 locks (standard), or
614-16 locks (+.050)
4705-16 spring seats
Using the 7 degree hardware and stock spring seats you
should end up with an installed height close to 1.78". With
10 degree hardware, 4705-16 spring seats, and the +.050
super locks you should see a 1.75" installed height.
Many have used the stock or LT4 spring seats with these
springs. I personally don't like the way the springs sit on the
spring seat. I have the 10 degree setup on mine.
