most performance shops that port heads should be able to help you out. i have had numerous 5.3L heads ported and i usually pay 50 bucks extra for them to put the bigger ls1 valve in them when they do the valve job.

Like msydow said, most performance shops should carry the valves, You can also try Texas Speed, they have a selection of valves. You can even order them from GMPartsDirect.com if they are stock size valves.

If you are looking for the sodium filled exhaust valves p/n 12565312, a google search reveals multiple sourcess e.g. citycratemotorsdotcom. The hollow intake valves, p/n 12565311 are listed as discontinued everywhere I could find.
