I am working on a set of dove heads for a 466 I am piecing together. More than likley I will be using a comp cams 306s (solid flat tappet) cam, but I would want to later upgrade to a comp cam xr292R rolller in the future.

You won't find a better valve than Ferrea. I have seem a slightly better flow number useing Manley valves (mainly due to there smaller undercut stem diameter), but have never had a problem with Ferrea valves. If you plan on upgrading to a roller at a later date, spend a little extra and get the Competition Plus valves.

They make good valves, just make sure you pick the appropriate series for the application.

As has been said already, the FRPP 2.250" intake valves which Lem has for sale is a better deal all the way around.
I use them with the S.I #6003SG exhaust valve all the time. That similar exhaust valve from Ferrea is #F6258; (it's 1.760" diameter is .010" smaller and has less of a tulip backside).
