Hi everyone,

I've got a question for the inliners:

What defines and seperates the 270 (302 also?) big port head from the 248-270 
standard head? I think I've been told that the big port head has larger 
valves? 

I'm trying to plan out the rebuilding of the 248 in my '50 GMC and I need to 
know what would be best to do for the head. I have heard the 270 big port 
mentioned before and was curious if it is a feasable route to take for 
performance. I would imagine that even if these heads are great I probably 
won't be able to find one. Can I  have large valves installed in a standard 
head? What would be the better head to install these in: a 228 head with 
higher compression or the stock 248 head?

Please let me know if I'm on the right track here or if I need some serious 
enlightenment.
