Powerglide Intake Valves

    In 1950 Chevrolet announced the introduction of the Powerglide automatic transmission. To compensate for the power lost in the torque converter, larger 1-15/16” intake valves were added to the engine. When the new 18-bolt head and full pressure connecting rod oiling was introduced, the smaller 1-7/8” (non-Powerglide) valves became standard for all 235” and 261” engines.
    These 1/16” larger Powerglide valves can be installed in the later engines, directly replacing the original valves with no more work than a normal valve job, and minor bowl enlargement for best results. This improves peak power, and also cleans up worn, recessed or pitted valve seats.
    I have had several sets made by an American manufacturer to the original factory dimensions. They will be available by approximately March 1, 2016. Do not pre-pay your order, it will be refunded. Instead, please e-mail me to reserve a set: Valve Order.
