That's a good point about using the bigger intake valves to salvage a head after several valve jobs. Since the exhaust valves have the same dimensions as small block V8 exhausts, the popular 1.6" diameter V8 valve can also be used to get a new seating surface for the exhaust valve. In either case, a 60 degree seating stone or cutter tool should be used to open up the port area just below the valve.

Jerry (or, anyone else),
Do you have a part number for that exhaust valve?
Or, what is the year/size/etc of a specific small block V8 that has an appropriate exhaust valve?
I do not want the re-builder to make the wrong choice.
Thanks,
