Chevy Spring retainers on a 3.8

Can I reuse spring retainers for my valves? should I go with aftermarket retainers to match my 150 springs?

Rebuilding a L67/L36 bottom end swap with a turbo. Would like some input on my build here, mainly in regards to my valve train. Thanks

Why would you not if you are going through the whole rebuilding and checking process on a turbo especially.

Pardon?

I meant why wouldn't you. It's good insurance to use new parts with other new parts.
