D3VE valve size
I finley had a day off and broke down the set of D3VE heades I bought and mesured the valves. I am geting 2.08 for the intake and 1.657 to 1.6575 for the exaust. I did a quick serch on Summit and can't find matching sizes. Can aney one point me to some one, perferabley on this form, that may carrey them.
I have the heads in the tank down at my local shop will get them out Mounday.
Thanks and have a great 4th

Do you want ot stay with stock size valves? or step up to CJ size 2.19/1.71.
either way discount power products is the sponser of this forum give them a call, or Lem evans most likely can get them (PM me if you want his number)
Or another choice is maddog performance, you can find him selling on ebay but they sell seperate from there too, just, they are also called fastengineparts, and I know they carry ferrera valves for the 460s which are good valves (same brand trickflow uses in thier heads )

As to whether the benifits would be there for you probably not for a low rpm torque type engine, but that is also why I asked. For others that might be interested what is involved is on the intake side you just need to cut a new seat (a good machine shop usually has seat cutters fro doing this, expecially if they do any installation of hardened seats) on the exhaust side I would put in hardened seats but then again I do that even on stock sizes. Then once the seats have been roughed in you need to do a bowl blending type port job on it, this is a good idea even if your staying with stock valves and some port work on the exhaust side is always a good idea on any of the 385 series heads, even the CJ and PI heads have poor exhaust flow.
But the sources I listed should be able to get you the stock sizes you were asking about.

I think thease heads alreadey have hardend seats. I am wondering how far you can cut thease seats before you need to replace them? You mentond going to 1.71 diameter valves this onley .050 bigger and 1.725 is onley .065 larger and 1.760 is 0.100 larger. This should mean you are onley taking 1/2 of that off each side.
I am gratful for your input

Well just an update. I have a set of ferrera valves 2.19 in 1.76 ex on the way.
I am installing hardend seats as recomended.
I wen't over and looked at the heads after they came out of the tank. I coulden't believe how much flash and junk from the raw casting is still on the heads. I Coulden't believe Ford left flash sticking up on the mold line abought .375 to near .500 on the inside of the intake runers!!
I am Going to clean up intake and exaust per Scotty and Monsterbaby's advise.
My main problem is I keep trying to hold auto manufactures to the same tolerances that we use to bild aircraft.lol.
By the way did aneyone see the naming of my new project. The F35 LightningII. I am curentley working on the F22A Raptor but may get moved to the new program.
