i have a set of bare 049 heads.
Will the valves and springs work out of peanut heads on the 049's?
I cant see spending all the money on inconel valves for the 049 when i can buy a new heads with them in there for almost as much

yes, but they are only 2.06 valves. to wake up large oval heads you need 2.18s and some port work. they will perform better than the round ports at 4000 on up, but not as much better as you are looking for.
