Default help with identifying intake valves

I traded out some work for a bunch of Pontiac parts. these intake valves were in a box. they are 2.11 tulip valves and look like they have never been installed. the swirl marks are very visible and there in not a spec of carbon. on the stem there is the word "spec" stamped on one side and "1974" imprinted on the other side. anyone familiar with these?

How long are they? 2.11" valves came in several different lengths, the early stuff was apprx .100" longer than the later smog heads with deeper chambers........Cliff

Tuliped stems with dimpled heads were originally RAIV pieces. Those could be factory replacements for the RAIV valves. The RAIVs were swirl polished as well. Look just like those. Not sure how long they were, but longer than standard D-port valves.

Just note that factory valves where available in several stem oversizes so even though they may be new , they may not be a drop in!
Does the stem measure .342"?

Look like Speed Pro RAIV replacements. Probably what the SP is.
