Finally have this set of 2.08 Edelbrock heads done.
Took 6 weeks to get Manley 2.08 and 1.60 valves, keepers, LS springs (ya I didn’t stutter), spring locators, and valve locks. Well 5/16 locks came instead of 11/32. Took somewhere around 3 months to get this right minus -040 or -.050 pac 11/32 keepers needed with this spring to get the required spring pressures. The spring is only 1.280 diameter. I never do 2.08 heads for customers but this is a very good friend. Honestly I wouldn’t have done them to this size if I knew what chamber size I was limited to but with extra work they turned out ok. I was a nervous wreck assembling these small azz retainers and keepers not having a single spare but they are ready for pickup. These heads were ported by a friend before so I had a few repairs to do and had to cut them for the required .500 valve seals. Before and after numbers. Should work pretty good with his .680 lift roller cam.
