How does the valve positioning change in aftermarket heads compared to afactory head? I have been told that the Indy heads have the exhaust valve moved across, but what about W8 & W9? Cheers

I believe the book How to big inch a small block Moparts gives you the spacing on most of the different casting available. Matt
