Hippie, I hate those springs...not 'cause they suck or break, but they do require me to machine my heads. Not a big deal if I was pulling my heads, but I'm not.
I'm in the process of installing cc 26918 springs, they fit stock chevy heads with no machining. About $800 for spring, retainers, rockers, pushrods, guideplates and cups.

I have the same rocker et al. To use the 26918 springs on my heads I needed the 4705-16 spring cups, they're for standard SBC guides.
Oh, yea, no machining. I did need to remove the valve seals to put in new spring cups.
