Doesn't manley or ferrea make a set? I know you can get the manleys (which are nice pieces) for around $100 for exhausts, that's where I got my 1.575 exhaust valves. Paid more for the intakes (2.02's). Not sure, might want to look into it, that or rev I guess.

Youve got tons of options. The majority of them shouldnt cost more than 200 for the set of 16. Figure another couple hundred bucks for a valve job and to have them lapped in. Might think about replacing the bronze or steel valve guides too.

SDPC sells ferra 6000 valves, $12.25 for 2.055", $11.75 for 1.6". Thats $192 for the set. Then there's Manley valves for 10.75 each in both 2.055" and 1.6". That comes out to $172 for the set.

Call Dart and see what they would sell the valves for. Since you run their heads, they might cut you a deal.

If you haven't purchased valves yet, email me at gwold@dartheads.com, or call me at (248) 362-1188, ext. 109. We stock the valves that we use in our heads.

Get the Dart valves, they are lighter than you think and a move to a heavier valve wouldn't be a good one. On my 205's, the larger Dart valve weighed 3 grams less than the stock smaller valve.
