Awhile back I had the chance to purchase some parts and equipment from a shop that was once a Ford dealership in my town . The dealership was purchased from its original owner back in 1956 and has been in the same family since, they lost or quit being a ford dealership not long after and just became...

Thanks,
I tried one of those but it is entirely to small, I am not sure why these guides are so large. Most bbc heads I do use the 140-1973. I would measure but was destroyed by the valve and finished it off pressing it out. I will try to measure the hole

Hello,
Would any one happen to know a part number/name for a BBC 990 casting intake valve guide? Head is dated 1973. I am having a hard time getting them from parts company.
I keep receiving guides that are too small OD. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have a DOZE block for sale. Fresh bore and hone job with torque plates and main studs.
No reasonable offer refused.
Has sat in my shop for 20 years. Just need to get rid of some of my stock pile,,, I have hoarded to much. Lol

I was wanting to use stainless aftermarket valves.
I found some 2.02"/1.57" that I will turn down to 1.94"/1.50" and see how it works.
Rules dictate a non ovate or beehive spring and 1.265" od max.
This is a dirt track engine with solid cam and maybe 7,000 rpm.

Lol, be careful,, I am hitting the coffee a bit hard this morning and it's starting to cause diarrhea of the mouth. Have to find a happy medium here. Thanks for the tips guys! I will check those out. Don't know if there are any gains to be had but will find out. Customer is after every little bit. H...

Does anyone make 1.94"/1.50" or 2.02"/1.60" standard length to +.100 with the smaller 5/16 or 8mm stems?
Don't need anything fancy, just stainless.
Any help would be appreciated!

Oh valve bowl is a little tight at 87% on the average. Not real consistent. Air speed is quite high at the short turn all across the apex

Thanks for the insight guys. You confirmed what i was thinking about the short turn. I will leave the epoxy and work it some and see what i get. I was just a little puzzled because the guy who supposedly did the job is a bit of an expert on these heads. It seemed to me the were just cleaned up and n...

Class rules require a stock head. Customer is stuck with his valves (2.19"/1.88") and this head due to budget. But wanted to upgrade cam and fresh valve job,,, then back together.

Same port

Short turn

Good port

Had a nice set roll into shop. Was freshening up valve job and noticed the port job done on these heads was decent. Flow peaked at 303@ .600" with 2.19" valve. But flow got very turbulent right at .600 and went down hill quick. The previous porter put epoxy on trailing end of guide up to j...
