Default Rebuilding 186 heads. Need source for parts.

I have a set of bare 186 heads that I need to get built. I am going with Manley valves but was wondering if there were any recommendations for springs and rocker arms. These are for the 302.

We used the stock pressure 302 springs from Manley. I also used the roller TIP rockers from Crane. They fit under the valve covers. Just do a little cleaning in the ports and runners, shim your spring heights and use steel clips and retainers. Will go to 7000 rpm's all day. Sam
