    Larger valves for 3.4 iron heads

    Are there any larger intake / exhaust valves from another GM product that can be installed into a set of 3.4 iron heads? I thought I read somewhere that 3.8L valves are the correct length, larger, and will fit in the combustion chamber size of the 3.4.

    They are 8mm stem so they won't work with iron head 60V6s.

      Yea wrong stem. The small block uses the same stem size but I doubt you could fit anything bigger in there without offsetting the valve center or going with a smaller exhaust valve. Perhaps you could get 1mm larger without too much hassle but I doubt it is worth the cost. I would think money would be better spend on other parts.
