496 with 840 rectangle port heads
Im building a 496 and cant really afford aluminum heads. I have a good set of 840 casting number rectangle port heads. They need a valve job, probly milled and i would like to put in hard seats and stainless valves. In the mean time i was given another set of rectangle port heads that have brand new stainless valves and have been ported and polished about 30 years ago. One heads was damaged and i do not want to use them. I pulled the vaklve to put in the first set of heads but found out the intake valves are 2.30 intake and stock 1.88 exhaust. I want to make as close to 600 hp and close to 600 ft lbs of torque so the question is should i have th larger intake valves put in the heads? Would there be a significant gain by going to the larger intake valves? Or just buy new 2.19 valves
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
