The machine shop building a flathead for me suggested using 1965 to mid 80's exhaust valves from the Ford 300 CI engine which are 1.560 as an upgrade for the stock 1.500 Flathead intake valves. They are the same length, and the groove for the retainer is in the same location. Since this is only.060 over stock, and easy to cut the seats. Any Fordbarners have a Ford part number for that exhaust valve. Thank you.
