big valves
Posted: Wed 12. Feb 2014, 15:52
I had Slover install 2.19 light weight intakes, oversized exhaust, using 5/16 stems, some wicked stiff springs with titanium keepers retainers and used new guide inserts. Have not put the engine in anything yet. Was thinking a boat, or Model A Ford coupe. I have been sidelined for a while and am also now building a stroker to about 500 cid.
I saw the new build one. Impressive power at reasonable RPM.
I want to push the heads as far as I can with valve size and porting. I will be haunting Big M auto wreckers for heads, several sets so I can get max flow. They have several early 58 sets there.
Questions are what are the biggest valves that can be made to work and what combination of parts were used? I will have pistons made. Any other tips would be appreciated. TJR
