I like the conicals by comp cams for our mild cams. I have also read that some ppl are using the late model LT1 springs with good luck but I havent tried em myself.
10 degree locks/retainers are a good idea IMO just in case you go all out on a build later. Titanium retainers never hurt if you dont mind the extra cost (WAY over kill in our engines IMO but nice none the less).

IMO youve got a pretty healthy build going there (trade ya my stock engine for it :wink: ). If you were a valve spring then they all youd see was the cam and a 412 is a fairly mild cam so you really dont need a humongusly (<is that a word?) big spring. The conical springs would suffice just fine and wouldnt break the bank. If you decide to go with a bigger can theyd have to be changed out though. The LT1s are cheaper I believe but I dunno what the specs are on em so they may or may not be ok with the 412.
