It's quite possible, the early 300 heads used those valve sizes, and it
was common for Chrysler to spread the same hardware around the various
car lines. The high performance versions of various B & RB motors
used those valve sizes in the mid to late sixties. All the 1971 or later
big blocks used the 2.08" & 1.74" valve size, even the two
barrel carb versions.

Hello List
I guess I am looking for someone (or someone
that knows someone) who has some intimate knowledge of the heads used on
thes various 'B' engines!!
MY 1959 PLYMOUTH supplement says DISTINCTLY
that the 361 in 1959 (305HP) has heads with intake valves of
2.08" and exhaust valves of 1.74".
( No dispute that in 1958 the 350 COMMANDO had
1.95" intakes and 1.60" exhausts.)
I have a few friends check their ORIGINAL 58
and 59 COMMANDO blocks,,,and a D500 block also,,,,ALL have 1.96"
intakes and 1.60 exhausts
In checking the CHRYSLER 300 book it looks like
all 413s had atleast the 2.08 intake but some had the 1.60 exhaust
valves.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY POINT: It doesn't make sense that the
59 GOLDEN COMMANDO 361 had 2.08 intakes and 1.74
exhausts?????
But that is what the supplement
says.
HELP!!??
