Re: Oil weight and brand
The Federal Mogul equivalent to the 3911068 is Sealed Power VS677. It's manufactured to the Chevrolet 3911068 print. You can buy a set of these for about 20 bucks.
I recommend this spring for ALL small block rebuilds with any OE cam.
With careful attention to installed height - .090-.100" coil bind margin for the specific lobe at 1.44:1 rocker ratio, they will provide a valve train limiting speed of about 7200 with an OE mechanical lifter cam and at least 6500 with an OE hydraulic lifter cam. Of course, unless the heads are massaged, the engine probably won't be making useable power at these speeds.
