I need some valves for a set of JPR 5.3 Stage 3 heads. Because JPR isn't around anymore, the closest that I can work with without having custom ones made would be.

Intake:
Head Diam. 2.080; Stem Diam. 0.3410; Overall length 4.910; Tip length 0.250

Exhaust:
Head Diam 1.600; Stem Diam. 0.3410; Overall length 4.910; Tip length 0.250

Why did you go with the larger size valve guides?
Looks like you have a vast assortment of SBC valves to choose from.
Larger diameter valves can also be cut-down slightly to a smaller size and give wider margins and better radius in the process.

Which valves would you recommend over all? Which brand and who should I call to get some good prices. I'm just trying to find replacements? I do intend to cut them down so that I can get back to the proper geometry needed. But currently I'm just trying to find the best deal on a good set of valves. I'd like to finish up this motor sometime next week.
Stevemilz- Patriot has Ferrea valves in the size I need.

Who on here is a supplier that I could go through to buy some valves?

I didn't that's how they came from JPR. When they were still in business they would take the 5.3 heads and port the **** out of them and then thow a set a old school sbc valves in them. When I bought thus motor these heads were already on them. one of the valves got bent and got the heads fixed and new guides put in but now I need some new valves. Had I know that JPR had gone out of business I would have gone a different route when getting these heads fixed. What would you suggest I do?

I've got a few decent sets off ebay.
I like Ferreas also, but there are other good brands too.
You just have to make sure your retainers & locks will work correctly with the valves you get.

I didn't know they were swapping to the bigger guides on those heads. I guess to save some money & maybe get rid of some stockpiled valves sitting around. Most machine shops that service cylinder heads will probably have the valves you are looking for sitting in their shop. Check some performance shops.
