Ferrea makes them (I have them) $16.50 a peice. I had to have the shop that did the heads order them. They are the Ferrea Comp + Valves these are the only ones that you can get from Ferra in those sizes that fit in the stock heads.

May also want to ask Craig at GTP, he's a guru for this stuff:

713.266.1320

Also, lightweight valves are useful for example to mitigate valve float from high revving combo's... S/E cars use titanium valves and other high revving cars do too.

Del West makes some nice titanium valves. I am sure they could make you a set to your specs. I wouldn't consider justifying the cost unless you were going to a solid roller that you wanted to really rev say 8000 or higher.
