Travato..... I have no idea what springs they are, other than "red stripe". Free height is 2.269, 1.455 O.D. Invoice says "1.865-1.875" ...... compressed, I assume or stem height.
Might be SBC springs?
Obviously not the same but close.

Whats the weight of the lifter, pushrod, and rocker?
I bet we could find out what you need. Also whats the ID of the springs? PAC 1219s seem pretty damn close, and are a go to for high rpm modern hemi and LS motors.
I don't know how to measure the I.D.- inner or outer. I don't think I'll be spinning it much higher; I may even stick it on the dyno just to put a number on it.
The cam is Travato's grind, so I called him for springs. I almost bought the Ti hardware, but Bill said the E-brock stuff is light enough. He knows what he's doing, I trust. I'm going to have Frank's guy at Burtonsville do the heads; I think the only things missing are the seals. Not to be a cheapskate, but I don't think I'll see that much difference going to beehives- not $355 worth, anyway.

The original 400E block was long gone when we got it in 1984. It had the oh-so glorious 68-69 400G in it, so no loss there. I do believe it to be an original 4 speed car, though.
He has better taste than putting a chebby in it. Glad this is moving forward.
