Will these fit LT1 heads ???

Will valve springs off of a 2002 LS1 car fit an LT1 head ? I was
just doing some comparing between comp cams beehives 26918-16
springs and stock LS1 springs , and I noticed they are pretty much the same
exact spring . So will the LS1 springs work on an LT1 head with a cam
around .600 lift ? If so will the 787-16 retainers fit the LS1 springs ?
I searched for a while and found nothing on this so maybe its a new
find

Comp Cams beehives 26918-16

Stock GM LS1 valvesprings are NOT good for .600" lift the comp 26918's are. The LS6 aren't even good for .600". Don't cheap out on one of the most important parts.

I think he was directing that more twords Severous01 and at the same time letting you know that they won't handle a .600 lift.
