Valve sizes
Valve sizes Does anyone know what the sizes are of the LQ9 valves are? They came outta a 6.0 escalade. If I am building a set of heads for a LS1 will these valves work with upgraded springs etc?

You have 2.00 inch intakes and 1.55 inch exhausts.
Why not do it right? Get yourself some 2.02/1.56 Ferrea's or Manley Stainless steel valves. All you have to do is compare one of the aftermarket valves to the stock valve and you'll see right away that there is a huge difference.
You can go bigger valves for all all out application but for street and mild strip 2.02/1.56 works just fine. Don't make the mistake of going too big for street/strip.
