Hey all,
As I'm assembling this motor for hopefully the last time for a while I wanted to get some more info on these heads. I did a little bit of digging and I think they're CB 044 super mags but I wasn't able to come up with anything conclusive since I don't know what I'm looking at really.
Thanks for the help.

| They look to be large valves. Did you measure them? That would probably help identify them better also. Also maybe try sending a pic to CB they have pretty good email support. |

Good call, I'll measure them tonight and reach out to CB as well.
Thanks!

| Are they semi hemi as well? Hard to tell from pictures. But if they are they might be made for a turbo. It used to be pretty common to use a bigger exhaust valve with a turbo. Semi hemi to get compression down. |

Just got some time to measure the valves, looks like 35mm exhaust and 40mm intake. They aren't flat, they do have some dish to them.
