i saw some on Ebay for sale a set for 300 bucks dont know what size they were they just said they were lt1 heads check it out they are reconditioned heads dont know anything about them but saw em yesterday
Did you want big valves or did you want good flowing heads? They are not one in the same and many knowledgable LT1 head giys will not point you to valves that large. Hell unless going all out most even like the stock valves.
Do some research and rethink your request.

another vote for ebay, there always seems to be one or two good deals for some heads on there, you just gotta find them.

I would think about upgrading the quality of the valves and spring. The super charger will cause the exhaust valves to run at a higher temperature. The stock runs will run but not as long or as well as a good set of after-market valves. Springs as well the super-charger will put pressure on the valves at closing pint and force them open if your spring pressures are to low. Just food for thought. Shoot me an e-mail or pm if you have any questions. Be happy to help, no charge for advise.
