Your original springs are still good but I would either shim them to 60 lbs. seated, or use the C.W.Moss springs. If your cam is indeed stock, you won't need any stiffer springs. If it is a performance grind, I'd definitely use the C.W.Moss springs. If using solid guides the installed spring height will be less than with original guides because there is no shoulder on them, unless you get guides from Mac's, they have a shoulder. I like the Mac's guides because the shoulder keeps them in place, so they can't slip down.
