Default stock valve springs for E7 heads

I am planning on porting my stock E7 heads and decided to install a new set of valve springs as mine have 160kms (100,000miles) on them. I went to my local Ford dealer and all he found is the exhaust valve springs. He did a dealer search across Canada and U.S. and only came up with 2 intake. Has Ford stopped making stock compenents for the 5.0L !!
So next I went to a local speed shop and they had a hard time locating some stock springs as well. They can get some from Ford Racing but designed for the GT40 head or some from Crane but a foot note said machining is required.
I am running the stock cam, all I want is a fresh set of valve springs. Does anyone know of a company that still makes them??

TrickFlow makes a upgrade valve spring package for stock heads. Check Summit Racing's website.
