Are FE intake valves 30 degrees or 45 degrees ??? November 14 2008 at 8:32 PM		(Login winr1) Members


I see intake valves on ebay and websites for 390 and 428 showing 30 degrees. I am stumped.. Is 30 degrees better for low end and small lift cams ?? The more I learn the less I know...lol.... TIA. RickyConfusedBoy.

45* usually except early 332 and 352 had 30* before 1963 on intake, exhaust always 45*. - Pippin on Nov 14, 2008, 8:52 PM
