Rock and roll. Yeah, I found a slew of odd sizes when I was hunting for "stock" valves and found this set that I just bought. -

A friend of mine just stopped by this evening in regards to the '63 Savoy I'm working on for him and after I talked to him about the valves, he asked if the outfit was from Washington and I said that I think the area code was Oregon, which rang a bell with him. He mentioned that he purchased a set of them for the Australian magnum heads he bought and they were really nice. So that sold me on them, even after I was basically set on buying them after reading the specs in that auction listing.
I'll post pictures and dimensions against advertised when I get them. These are dead stock measurements, but the treatment these valves are given sounds awesome.
He said that the ones he got had some margin area differences between the intake and exhaust for what he did, but he put odd valves and beehive springs in those Australian heads to get coil bind out of them. I think it's because he's running Magnum heads and had other custom parts he was running on an LA block that he had to go back in and correct.
If these spec the same as the valves in the '302s, I'll know with what the mic. says.
My friend also brought another LD4B by my place that I traded the Weiand for. He thought it was an LD340 when he put it away, but it's the same as the intake I just bought (grrrr)...
So yeah, I may have a nice, unported LD4B for sale, for anyone who may be interested in something like this project. When it rains it pours, I guess.
I'll get pics of the other LD4B up tomorrow.
