Don't confuse the GT or GT-P valve springs with the XR8 valve springs. They are different.

Don't think you can use the GT springs unless you get out the grinder :blink:

Strange.....Ford were quite happy to fit them to my car, and honour the parts and labour under warranty if the springs failed.

I think the "can't use GT/GT-P springs in the XR6 engine" is a myth, perpetrated by people trying to move other companies' products. I haven't had one Ford tech tell me they won't work.

Seem to remember someone fitting them a few years ago and the seats needed to be ground out for them to fit...probably wrong again :kissmy:

Also remeber reading something about the springs binding, could be just a myth though.

I have the GT springs fitted in mine, no binding or grinding or any problems at all.

why you ask shifty?

#9

I also heard the BOSS290 valve springs 'weren't suitable' for the T. If HUSTLER's got them installed, I guess I heard wrong. However, The XR8 ones are slightly cheaper and are sufficient, so why pay the extra I guess?

#10

I got mine through aps and that's what they gave me!!!!! Still in the genuine ford packets!!
