This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

Magnum springs should be fine with a 400, since Comp Cams states the 200 and 400 are designed for use with oem springs. The Mag springs would help offset what small amount of weight the larger valves may have.

DOHC springs won't provide enough pressure at the installed height in an SOHC head. There is a thread somewhere that backs that up.

edit: The mag spring/retainer assy are only about $85 ish, last I checked.
