Upgrading my bracket race 440 to a 493 this winter. .704 lift roller cam with 1.6 rockers.Sent the Indy 440-1 heads out for porting. Replacing all the valves. Should I stick with the 2.19 intakes or switch to the 2.25 intakes? Would the 2.25 valves be too shrouded by the 4.35 bore?

2.25 will fit, 2.30 needs a bigger bore and possibly a smaller exhaust valve. (1.78) due to radial clearance.

Many motors run good with a 4.375 bore, which is only .0125 further from the valve.
