OldsGuy,
The largest valves I've seen in a stock 23° non-splayed valve SBC head without serious edge shrouding problems are 2.11/1.77". I'm not even sure if those are stock sizes any more at Manley, but they can probably custom make any valve you need. They used to be stock Pontiac valves, and are close enough in length to work without guide modifications. They install a little taller, but with higher lift cams, that turns out to be a good thing.
