Valve ?

I have a set of stainless Milodon valves for a 351c 4v. Can they be used in 460 heads ?

I'd be surprised if they would fit, but then I have never worked on the internals of my 460.

The 351C and the 460 are very different engine families. If I recall the valves on a 351C are huge. So maybe they are huge enough for a 460? Not sure about diameter of the stem or length.

Hope someone who knows answers the question.

One way to find out is look the parts up on summit and compare the valve differences. If I remember right the 351C valves are too short to fit the 460 head castings.

Stock the 351C 2V, and the 429/460 use the same exact valves, the 351C 4V and the CJ/SCJ use the same valves. you can cut the standard 429/460 heads to use the bigger CJ valve sizes so no a problem, you will just have to pocket port the heads to clean up the port after cutting, and I recommend putting in hardened exhaust seats because when you cut the heads for the bigger valves you cut out the induction hardened seats done at the factory.
