What spring on the Aluminum GN1 heads what springs for a roller cam

What part numbers are the roller springs the same for a Iron or Aluminum Champion head? Are they interchangable between the iron and Aluminum heads?Part numbers for the springs?

Yes, you order the same spring for both heads but lot's of variation can change this. Cam, valves, rockers/ ratio used. You just can't take a set of springs out of the box and slap them on. You need to give more info on what your setup.

Cam is a comp. 212/212 with the 853 roller lifters and T&D 1.55 roller rockers. I have a set of Champion GN1 Alum. heads I want to install but their set up for flat tappet cam. I wanted to take the beehive springs from my Iron heads and install them on the Alum GN1's..Or do I have to buy k-motions -750's? What height and springs would I use on the Alum.

I used the 26920 springs. The retainer #'s will depend on the stem size, and material U want. [Titanium vs steel]
Don't forget the locator cups.
I used the tit retainers. The reduction in valvetrain wt was supposedly as much as switching from steel to tit valves w/ stock design springs, etc.
