Title: Looking for Some S/S Valves
Post by: Joe Buick on December 31 2014, 08:48:32 AM: Like the title says. I am looking for a set of Valves to prepare a set of Iron Race Heads with 1.77 / 1.50 if you have and not using before I go to TA Performance and get them there.

Thank You

I have heard good things about those eBay ferrera valves.

Avoiding the potential for new seats for free is a good deal.

Ferrea's are a quality product. I got mine from flatlanderraci ng.com when I built my 4.1 but I think the ebay sellers are cheaper when you factor shipping.

Exactly why I unloaded several of my toys. The maintenance to keep them all going was getting silly. I'm concentrating on the GN.

That's exactly why I sold the GTA

I have noticed better low end results, but it's a little PITA cause I have to get Pontiac Exh. and sometimes it's a little hard to get S/S 1.71". I only did a few of sets like these and the guys were very happy on the quick spooling.
