Default valve springs

my dad just picked up a 98 12v, the guy we got it from didnt know his *** from a hole in the ground. said it has injectors and DVs in it, but didnt know the size. it seems like it has 3k or 4k gsk in it.

what im wonderin, is there anyway to figure out if it has the stock valve springs or 60lb valve springs.

pull the first valve spring out and you will have to measure the hight of it. The 60lbs springs are taller than the stockers by over an inch. I'll measure my stockers tommorrow for ya.
