95 Cobra valve spring specs??

1995svtcobra · February 13th, 2009, 10:26 AM

I have a 95 cobra that I'm having a valve job done on. The initial problem was that one of the vavle springs broke cyl #6 on the intake side. So I took everything apart and now my heads are at a machine shop. The guy is having a hard time finding a factory valve springs. He's asking me for a cam spec sheet which I don't have. The car is a stock cobra, no one has been in the motor, so it should all be stock. Do any of you know the stock specs on the factory vavle springs for this car? I think he said he needs height (maybe open and install height) and the open pressure in lbs. I called ford, they can no longer get the springs, and have no info on the specs. I then called summit, they have some aftermarket eldelbrock springs the specs on those are 1.77 install height, 120 seat pressure, .2 open height, 1.44 O.D. of spring, 338 lb open pressure. The tech guy said these were for a mild cam, but would work for a stock bottom end set up. Any help would be great, the guy has had my head for a month, I'm ready to get my freakin car back together.

look into the trickflow spring upgrade from summitracing.com for stock 5.0 heads they are supposed to be good to a .542 lift cam.the extra pressure would be great if you plan on adding boost

yeah seeing as you're getting a valve job done, you might as well get yourself some new springs. I'm really pissed that I didn't do that... the trickflow springs are an awesome upgrade. +1 on those!
