Holy valves Batman !
I am doing some web work for a local machine shop. They had a set of 426 Hemi heads sitting on the counter. I put a quarter in the chamber and snapped a digi-pic. Those valves are HUGE !

Re: Holy valves Batman ! (dman535)
Just out of curiousity what is the stock valve sizing for a 426 Hemi head?
FYI the big block Chevy head is know as a semi-hemi head with it's staggered and splayed valves (also know as a porcipine head).

My Canfields have 2.30"/1.88". I wish I had taken a picture of them.
