Could someone please clarify the valve sizes in the 15 heads. I've heard and read conflicting information. Are the 1970 455 heads 2.11 or 1.96?

I just took a 70 455 apart that came out of a big car. The heads were 15's with small valves and pressed in studs. I think they are 90cc, but never cc'ed them. If anyone wants I could cc them to put the 15 head question to rest.

OK WallaceRacing says 1.96 intake. PDude's chart says 2.11 The small valve seems to be the general concensus however.

Mine are the same, small valves. Strange how Pontiac only rated the big valve #64s 10 hp more??
