Default Re: Head Numbers

There's about 1/8" gap between the valves so it looks like they ARE 1.94's. This is a sweet running little engine and I originally just wanted to freshen up the bearings and rings. I'm pretty bummed to find out they aren't 2.02's....I'll be lucky if I'm getting 340 hp! Funny how the numbers can take the smile off your face :-(
Thanks for the help tho, appreciate it!

I wouldn't be bummed out if I were you. Until you saw the size of the valves you thought the engine ran real nice! It is almost impossible to feel the difference on the street with the bigger valves. Remember all 350cu. 300hp cars have the small valves, also all the 275hp-327 cars do too. Some of those low H.P. cars are running in the high tens,low 11's in Stock Eliminator. SO.....Be Happy! Sam
