| Valves |

I'm at the stage in my 390 rebuild where I am looking at having the heads machined. I am having a problems finding valves for the engine though. I have looked in Summit and Jegs, neither have a listing for FEs, i've checked out Manleys web site to no avail. there. I went down to the local perf. shop, and they quoted me $250 for 16 vales. I think that is way too much. I am looking for 1-piece Stainless valves. I can get them out of PAW, they are PAW brand. I know they don't make their own stuff, so any ideas on who it could be? Does anyone have any experience with PAW brand parts? Anyone have any better place to look for valves?
This is what I am going to have done, do the prices seem fair?
Valve Job-$150 (5 angle [its only 20 bucks more than a 3 angle, and they said it flows better])
Guides-$64 for 16
Hardened Exhaust Seats-$96
They said they would Magnaflux them for $25 since I would have all the work done
They will also cut the seats out to fit 2.09 intake and 1.65 exhaust valves for $40.
If need be, the milling would cost $40.
IMO, they are a reputable machine shop...
Thanks for any help, especially on the valve issue. |
