I did mine. I used the standard tool. What a pain in the @ss. I ended up pulling the motor and it still sucked. I dont see how anyone could do the job with the motor in the car unless they had the special ford tool.

I used the ford tool -- http://www.amazon.com/OTC-7928-Valve.../dp/B0002STSMQ -- and it is still a PITA with the engine in the car, but I managed to do it. if you can find a short claw grabber tool around 7 inches it will help you out A LOT when trying to put the keepers back in.

I have pretty mild cams so the first year I ran stock springs. That's when I was at 516. Then when I changed to ported heads, the new ones were included with them. Plus doing it this way saved me money. I hear it's quite tedious in the car.
