Fords on 9N tractor valve retainers for a T engine?

[Les Schubert]

I think I recall hearing that these can be used on a T engine??

Not exactly, not with model t valves. Chevy 302 valves can use the ford tractor valve retainers, or the chevy retainers. Chevy valves are not interchangeable, they will require maching the block.

Thank you for the reply. I believe these retainers fit the T springs decently?
My thoughts are to use then in conjunction with the Multi-Lifts as a valve rotator version is available new for a reasonable price!!

I'm running the Chevy valves, T springs and 9N Ford tractor spring retainers on two cars. It's a good fit.

Les -- I use Ford tractor valve retainers (part #8BA6514) with Chevy valves and Model T springs. They work great, and I like the idea of the more secure Chevy valve keepers in place of the T's "pins."

Les, the Holden V8 valves I use have two lands on the keepers, one for the outer spring and one for the inner. The standard T spring sits perfectly on the inner land. Perhaps the USA GM keepers will work the same?
