Also, thinking of a set of 165 AFR's but they are pricy.
Thanks,
I'm thinking that I'm going to have to have them notched now since I went with 2.02/1.60 valves. It probably would have been really close even without the larger valves. Any clearance I would of had is probably going to be gone now so I 'm just expecting to need my pistons cut. I'll let you know for sure when I start putting everything together. I'm just waiting for my heads to come back.
