Yes, there is a number at the top of the valve near the keeper groove. If your valve has a number, let me know what it is.

Ferrea has super alloy valves for those heads. It's some proprietary super high grade steel from the inconel family. We had good luck with them in nitrous and nitro applications. We have severely bent some from other issues but never cracked one.

Does Ferrea sell to the public or do I need to find a vender that sells them to get this valve?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I've bought directly from them.

Unfortunately there's no number. Maybe this means its not original? I don't know.. I did buy this head new..

Thanks for your offer though..

All the valves I've seen from Edelbrock have a p.n. etched on them. I received a complete pair out of their first run of heads and have seen more than a hundred heads since...they all had part numbers.
Yes, Ferrea will sell directly to you as will Manley, however you will probably get a better price dealing with one of their vendors.

If you purchased the head new from Edelbrock, why would you question if the valves are from Edelbrock?

I bought this head from a Pontiac vender . Told him what I was doing and that's it,i got the head and never asked what valves was in it . So maybe he put his own valves in it? I don't know.. Maybe ill look at the rest of the valves and see if they have a number , I doubt it though...

So seems like a lot of the replies are for Ferrea here. Don't know much about valves , what's good or just ok , but was told that Inconel was the best to get for what im doing. Is the 6000 valve as good ? I have no clue ..

Thanks
