Default Valves for -67 670 heads?

Hi!
I’m about to restore my 670 heads for my -67 GP with 400 engine.
I will order some new valves from Summit but I have some thoughts...
Stock or stainless?
Seames to be some different ones to choose from at Summit. What are your experience and what do you recommend?

Don't know if you ever got the heads redone yet, but I would go with stainless on the exhaust ports because those get hot from the exhaust exiting the head.

Most recommend the Ferrea stainless 5000 series.

They're available from Butler, Ebay & lots of other places.

SI also sells stainless valves. They have the hi perf type, with no O-ring groove, and the stock type, which does have the O-ring groove. According to the SI rep I talked to, the stock type exhaust valves are stainless, but the intakes are not. But, he assured me that all SI valves are 1-piece. Can't verify. Just passing on the info I was given. A once highly esteemed Pontiac engine builder used & recommended SI valves, FWIW.

I assume that the engine builders here can verify which valves they think are good quality & some that are not.
