Picked up my crank today, polished out STD. Block turned in should go .030, turned in the heads for checking, will need new springs due to cam change, Clevite R & M bearings ordered, and a new Flowkooler WP on the table.

I'm thinking single damper, like a 340 mopar spring, will let cam grinder spec the springs, but thanks for the reminder.

Yes, there are two different diameters for OEM LA springs. The 'stronger' spring being bigger, however, many aftermarket suppliers have blurred the line and make a multitude of springs in varying diameters.
Since we don't know what the cam profile is we can't guess on the needed spring.
