Tro Bro,
You are the real deal, and I am with Jeff on this one ( and most others), in wishing that more young'ns were into twisting wrenches, than whatever they are doing indoors. Your ideas, and gumption, suit you well, keep at it, and someday, you will be giving this same advice to some other young gear head, coming up in the world of Ford trucks... You get her done, and keep on posting here..

Our bacon is normal. Round bacon is called back bacon, but you may as well call it ham.

I've been super busy with work, loading up tons of hours. I wish I had more to say than that. On one hand though it's nice because I'm making coin which for obvious reasons will assist in the purchasing of parts. Once my paycheque comes in it'll be a trip to the machine shop, I'm thinkin. Other than my pistons, I have all my parts ready. I simply don't have the real estate to be doing other things at the same time. Suburban living. Gotta love it.
Once the engine is done, my buddy will drive his forklift over and we'll load the body onto the trailer and I'll take it away, out of sight and out mind and that way I'll be left with just a frame to work on.
I've also been busy working on the '73 while I wait to get it registered. So while I unfortunately haven't been doing much to the '69 (
) I have been keeping myself very busy.

I inquired into my exhaust valves from SI, as I was told they were on a ten week backorder... ten weeks ago. Turns out they decided to discontinue them! Would've been nice to have known that a long time ago. So I bought 1.600" small block Chevy valves. They're 0.101" longer, but maintain the 0.342" stem diameter of the Ford. Just gotta do some fiddling with pushrods and springs to make up for it.
Obligatory photo.

Valve stems are hardened. I doubt any shop would even want to attempt resizing them. Just gotta shim the springs and change pushrod sizes. I'll be switching to 3/8" pushrods anyway so it's really not a problem for me.

I think that Clifford Performance, had, or might still have, the valves you were looking for. When I did the head mods, for my 300, they had them, in 2 valve lengths, for the different rocker set ups on the 300's heads. Not sure if you need 'em now, but for future stuff, you might give 'em a call...
Good luck with your build... I am sure it will come out perfect, with the attention to detail you have..

"The only way we're going to start making them again is if there's high demand for them. Unless someone like Clifford starts mass ordering these valves again, there's no market for them. It's just not an engine that people typically build up."
So no, Clifford does not have them because they stopped buying them from SI.
