Default Larger Valves

I'm wanting to purchase 1.700" valves - any recommendations on suppliers?

Thanks!

Dennis Pirano in Tx has them. Quality stuff, easy to work with. http://www.modelaparts.net/
Get his center-main pressure oil kit while you are at it. Great addition to the engine unless you are going full pressure.

Thanks PC/SR - I've tried contacting Piranios over the past few days - unfortunately no answer! Thanks for the tip!

Just had 1.75 intakes installed in B. Used NEW chev. There are others, I sure, that are large enough to use. Just have machinist cut to size desired. In my case, using large foot chyrsler lifters...which are TALL, cut stems for to desired length and for modern valve keepers to get desired spring pressure. Valves/strings (V8 flathead..isky) and keepers are cheap enough. Machinist is not though

I use the ones from AER. The intakes are 1.73 and work great.
