my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

Fun to watch someone work!

On the lighter valves..... the difference may be in the lighter valves having the 'dimples' in the valve head rather than being fully flat. Saves weight, but they will increase the combustion chamber volume by several cc's if both the intake and exhaust have the 'dimples'. (I recall measuring 2-3 cc's increase in a 273 chamber with the 'dimples' vs/ without.....)

You are correct on the dimples, however, the bigger valve is going to weigh more. 11 grams on the intake valve, and the intake valves had the dimples......

trust me, I'd take the bigger valves and ports, LOL, just trying to find any advantage against my target, the '73 340, and I had to reach a little, but I found something.... ha ha ha
