Well being and OLD Ford mechanic/ TECH that worked on them OLD engines since it is a 331 and NOT a 330 then yes it has sodium valves as all the H D engines had , they were used for the Heat generated . Only problems i ever had with any Ford valves in H D app. was with one company as they ran a fleet of Ford Tandem and Tri Axles DUMPS local and back then the required fuel for the OLD gas powered trucks was HIGH TEST of 105 or greater octane . Sohio gas there high test was called Boron with valve cleaner and it did a fine job of cleaning valves . some weeks Pualey had two down . He ran the 391 H D as the smallest up to the 534. The Boron did not discriminate as it ate them all . Till i got him to switch gas then the problems went away . As for your valve springs i personally would not worry about the springs as much as rust on the valve stems and in the guides . The sodium valves have larger stems . YOUR big worry will be the Carb and gas to run it on . Carb problems will be the Power valve and the acceleration pump , they do not like gas with ALKIHOL .I can not remember every little detail of the tune up spec.s since the last one i worked on was like fifty years ago.
