Those are common SBC 11/32 stem sized valves. Gona be a bit pricey to change your heads from 1.94 to 2.02. Doubt you will see the full benefit of changing it.

Stock LT1s in F bodies had either 116 LSA or 117. LT4's had 115 LSA.

Duration varied from 200 to 210.

so u think it wont make a differnece by changing the valves?
even with a aftermarket cam

alrigh my cam has LSA 112 and duration .050 of 212int218exh
with a gross valve lift of .488int .495exh

do u think this cam is even worth putting in?

What are your goals? It's hard for anyone to suggest anything without knowing how fast you want to go. With a cam that small, you'd be able to run it on stock heads.

Too large a valve without the corresponding correctly done head bowl work will not gain you any flow. The valve will be shrouded to the extent it may flow worse than a 2.00" valve. I have 500HP through a 2.00" intake valve. Bigger is not always better.

alright so your saying im jumping the gun a little on the valves sense i wont have a large enough cam

also portin and polishing ive heard these are tricky heads to port and polich but i dont know why they would be much differnt from other sbc heads and ya also was going to do that the heads and manifold just gasket match them ?
