Hey Tim, its Mike. That will have to be done by a machine shop. Well, you can put the valves in easy but the heads have to be cut for the size valve you have. Not to mention you will want to have atleast a 3 angle or 5 angle valve job done. I tell you what. You may end up with over 500 bucks worth of parts and machine work. I know a little about whats been done to your heads so I know where you are going with this. The PP stage 2 heads with the REV valves start looking good to me at under 1100 bucks.

I ran it last Thursday. Thing would only run a 8.22. I have M/T ET Street Radials they spun like a Nitto. Track just didnt have any rubber on it. My 60' was 1.99 - 2.07.

I Just put my 4.10 gear in yesterday. Probably the best mod so far. It woke the car up something fierce.
