building a 351

[82 GT]

I am running similar set up to yours, however with 750 carb. My heads are suppose to be 351W with 3 angle valve job, w/ 180-154 valves. Will you have to notch your pistons with 2.02 valves? I am interested to hear how they work out for you.
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.
