    well it would be nice for a up grade on valve springs .your going to have to loose the ex rotators to put a better spring in well i would any ways may be some work with the heads on engine could be done .as for asking for a bbc to run at wot all day well 3500 is not asking to much from a bbc .so you need some good stock valve springs .a tool to compress the valve spring on the head .a way to put air in the head . a rubber head hammer to give the springs a good tap to un seat the valve locks as they take a set and will not come off just get pushed down with the valve spring .a good time at this point for new valve seals . yep it is a boat.. i am sure he as some rope how you hold the valves up is up to you but first un seat the keepers first
