RE: 452 Heads Question

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have gotten a couple of sets of 2.14/1.81 valves from a guy on eBay - I
believe his user name is Enginebldr or something like that.  Anyway you can
"buy it now" for less than $120 for a set, or sometimes bid on them and get
them for under $100 for the set.  I put them in the early small chamber
heads, (usually spending around $200 for new guides and the seat work), then
blend the bowls and gasket match the ports.  Had a set of these on a '67 440
with the stock pistons upside-down, a hydraulic cam, and a 750 Holley on the
'67 cast intake (with a 2" 4 hole spacer) that would run 12.0's all day long
in a 3300lb 63 Savoy many moons ago.

Hey Steve,
They should be 2.08" intake diameter and I think 1.74" exhaust, I don't know
what your combination is but if a budget build is the plan then why not get
a good three angle valve job and call it a day. Remember, VERY IMPORTANT,
make sure the installed height is correct and the springs are compatible
with the cam you choose. I have lots of horror stories there from over the
years. You would be surprised how many times we have checked new heads out
of the box from various  aftermarket manufacturers to find the installed
heights all over the place and in one case an almost comical mismatch batch
of parts. Have your local machine shop check them out before bolting them
on. I won't be around too much for awhile, midterms are here, damn summer
school is killingh me, LOL Joey
