I used the valves from Italy they worked out well . The valve stems were a bit on the large side of 11/32" But this was good because they were for a set of old Fuellys

yes thats why he uses them. im just sick of being told what i have is crap and it wont work. if i could f-ing afford afr's and a solid roller and allum i beams what do you think i would have????

The heads that a lot of guy make a big deal out of . Are the 305 #416/#601 with the 55-58cc Chambers . Stock they have 1.84in/1.50ex valves . Lots of guys sink ton's of money in them . They go with 194 in/ 160 ex valves screw in studs guide plates . And for the porting that needs to be done Hours Also more times then not they are cracked but this still will not stop guy from repairing them and selling them . I bought a set for a budget build from E-bay . And they were from a large Engine shop with a good rating . This is what they sent me The guys said there good to go cracks repaired ? And I did tell that guy if the heads are cracked i do not want them . These are the heads every one needs to check well before building them up .

Like I said before when I Die you get all my SB Chevy stuff even my Fuelly heads COOL

you'll love it when i get the old timer into the 9's thats another build and story. in the works for this summer. ill be the best day of my life when i prove alot of people wrong

Them small journal SB Chevy's are no Joke . I have seen high 10s from stock class drag cars with 327s and #461 fuelly heads .

robin brown runs 9.80's with a 283/4 speed in his 67 nova. abe loweman runs 10's all day long with a 302 in a 98 grand am. i keep close tabs on the S/S and S/E guys they are cool people to talk to. in seattle last year there was a 55 chevy with a 265 poppin low 11's !!!! WHO CARES HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS, if people were concernced with how expensive racing was there would be no top fuel whats really great is when you see 283/327 in full size 65-67 impalas and 64-68 chevelles running 10's and 11's

Just drill the crank for the bolt to hold on that harmonic damper . My friend sent his damper threw the radiator at over 8000 RPM on his Camaro with a 327 S/J .

i already do that

I would buy a demon before i bought a holley
