Stainless steel valves worth it?
Just wondering if it is worth it to change to stainless steel intake/exhaust valves ('72 350 4bbl)? They will be the std size 1.875" intake and 1.562" exhaust.

I'm curious about this too...
I've heard that SS valves eliminate (or at least reduce) the need for hardened seats (your '72 probably already has them....my '68 does not)....
Although....I'll probably upsize to 2.000/1.625 ....

I was considering going to 2.000" intakes as well... just not sure if it would make much diff on my overall setup.
Another member here sent me a link to 'thevalveguy' on ebay. He seems pretty well known and has decent prices.
