Huh? What are you looking for, the valves or springs?

Just the valve part number would be great, thx gents.

Don't think anyone has one, call up TU, FWD or Forward Motion as they stock them but no part numbers. Its a secret, :p

Your subject title is rather confusing. My mistake, I thought you were looking for springs not valves. BTW- Simon in Post # 5 suggested you call FWD for your needs.
BTW the valves have nothing to do with what spring you want to run. You can run beehives springs with stock valves, +1mm, 44/38mm, tulip, nailhead, import, domestic, stainless, Ti, turbo, N/A, 1 piece , 2 piece, etc. Get my point?
It sounds like you want a manufacturer and part # so you can buy from different source than TU, FWD, FM, MRX, Call them up and see where that gets you.

Hmm maybe Im cornfused then because I read different retainers are needed for the beehives and to use the right angle keeper you needed custom valve...?...Where I get them is moot, I just want to make sure I get the right stuff.

If using OEM Mopar 4 groove exhaust lock there is a 1° mismatch. Many have used them on GM or aftermarket retainers appearently with no ill effects. I really don't recommend it though. What you are looking for then is an exhaust valve with single groove lock. Yes that will be aftermarket. Some MP exhaust valves had the single groove lock. Yes, you obviously do need the correct retainers to run beehives. You might try Steve Menegon and see if he will order you some. He uses a cut down Manley SBC valve. These are not cheap import valves, but valves made and machined in USA. They are excellent quality valve. Since they are made from valve blanks, you can specific tip height, diameter, and style of lock groove.
Hope this info is helpful.
