Use what they recommend. I think it'll cross to a SBC spring though.
Those work fine. :smt023

I'm more comfortable with 80# springs, as these motors don't wind out to high anyways. Some (like Rob) like the 100# springs. Lobe wiping depends on a lot of factors, but I think if you were using the stock cam, use the lighter ones. The new Edelbrock shouldn't have issues, so long as you're anal about the break in procedure.

Hey Jeremy,  my name is Chris.  I actually live in Atlanta, but I grew up in Warner Robins.  My parents still live there.  I usually go down to visit once a month or so, sometimes everyother month.
