I think Ford is quoting behive springs for their new SBF 427. The advantage to a behive is you use alot less spring pressure to get the same result, in turn you minimize wear on valvetrain parts like camshaft, rocker arms etc. I think the odds of a spring breaking are the same odds of any other mechanical failure.

If you ever buy beehives, buy the best brand you can...if a spring breaks, you've pooped the bed....whereas with a dual spring, you at least have a little bit of safety there before dropping the valve.
