Hi all,
in the process of building a street bound 440. already have decided on KB184 pistons to give me around 9.3-1 compression with open chambers. I have the opportunity to get my hands on a set of mildly ported 452s with big 2.14/1.81 valves installed for wayy cheap. On my workbench i currently have a set of 452s that are bone stock but blueprinted at a true 88cc chamber. definitely want this thing to be a stump puller in a moderately heavy car with an automatic, so the cam isnt gonna be radical. would the big valves just hurt me in the end?
