Paul,

You stated "Ported C9VE heads 2.19/1.72 stainless valves" Can I use my DOVE A Heads or change them out?

Sorry about the confusion. C9VE heads and D0VE heads are essentially the same configuratioin cylinder head. Yes, you may port your D0VE heads and they wiill work excellently.

However, if you intend to port them yourself and know little about these engines, then I strongly suggest that you pay a $25 subscription fee to the website noted below which shows a very effective method for porting 429/460 iron cylinder heads. The value is worth every penny (and a lot more) and will prevent you from ruining your cylinder heads.

Go to the above website and pay the $25 fee to gain access to D0VE cylinder head porting. Bigger is NOT always better and Scotty (website owner) gives pages and pages of detailed pictures and instruction on how to make your heads rock 'n' roll.
