Looks similar to the Edelbrock head, any differences?

Anything to be wary of?

Can handle a 2.080" intake valve?

Thanks

I'm no expert but I bought a set and put 2.05's in them and I don't think there would be any thing to gain from a 2.08. I had a tough time with flow backing up over .550, and I would think the 2.08 would make it even tougher.

Yes it can. Is it easy to make a 2.08 valve pay dividends, no.
But a ProMax, Speedmaster, Edelbrock head can be made to flow in the 320cfm area.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

The biggest area for concern would be to make sure the rocker stands have the correct radius to properly fit the shafts.

Sometimes it’s an issue with those.....sometimes it’s not.
