You can use Magnum valve springs, available from various online vendors or your local friendly Dodge dealer.

Scroll down to the near bottom of the page and you will see some valves,
For the Dohc a set of 16 will cost you $99.99 and for the Sohc a set of 16 will cost you $139.99 but thats with out the retainers, hope that helped some

Uh.... if you're SOHC... screw that!... Magnum springs will only run you $50 or so for the set of 16 from a discount dealer like www.fsautomall.com or www.dodgeparts.com (plus shipping). The part number for the set is 04884058AA, much cheaper than ordering individually. You can use the retainers from your car, or whatever SOHC Neon you want... Titaium retainers are most definitely not needed... The Magnum valvesprings have held up the best with even the biggest cam (the 004 at least), revving to 8k rpm on a regular basis.

If you're DOHC, then by all means go with the Crane offerings, that's all you've got...

Best of luck!

Completely different spring size, won't physically fit. DOHC's have tons of lift available to them. The best SOHC's can hope for is 0.400", and that's with a reduced radius base circle cam and lash caps...
