Default What valves to use in EQ320 BBC heads?

Hi Everyone, I plan on replacing the heads on my 525SC engines with the EQ 320 heads.
I was wondering what everyone was using for intake and inconel exhaust valves?

Thanks in advanced for your opinions.

+100 long. With your bore I wouldn't go any bigger than 2.25 intake. Either Ferrea or REV valves Manley don't flow so well. REV flow the best but Ferrea is a close second. Definitely Inconel exhaust valves.

Heads should work out great for you.

Bore notch the cylinders if you can while the heads are off. I'm partial to my 2.30"

I plan on rebuilding short block to increase compression to 8.5:1. I'll look into bore notching. Thanks.

Mild, For the intake valve, did you use the F1232P valve.
