Nice work on the car with the new engine. But stock valve is a bad idea in a BBC with any cam that is not stock you should use SS valves along with bronze valve guides to help not to drop a valve.BBC engine are bad for dropping stock valves with a performance cams, the valve sticks in the cast iron guides and the piston smash the valve and cracks off the top.
yeah i know..... somewhere down the road i will have them cut for bigger valves. probably this winter when i do a 468 ci bbc.... thanks for the info larryo454

Im from new jersey I dont have any problems with the passenger side just the driver side leaks i was gonna try to expand the one pipe a lil bit to get it to fit better or use a muffler wrap to create a tighter seal
