Those size valves may fit becuase ET heads runs a 2.125/1.60 combo in their 4.00" bore LS7 head, but you may encounter a problem with shrouding the valve to much on the outside or the valves beind to close to each other on the inside, which both hurt flow.

Depends on the valve placement in the head castings.

What castings?

They fit, Holden has a LS2 block with L92 heads, that's where we get the L76 intakes from.

Is it the LS7 style All Pro head or the other All Pro head? The valve spacing in the LS7/L92 stuff will allow it to fit, I don't think a standard Gen III head will. Only way is to put one in there and check.

Hey Bret. How's it going?
I'm getting real close to finishing up several port programs for the All Pro LSW 12º head. The small bore program (4.0") is designed around 2.150"/1.600" valve sizes. I don't see a larger valve than this giving a flow advantage for these bore sizes given the wedge chamber layout.

Cheers,

Richard
