    Super Snake striping

    Any one know the stripe dimensions on the 67 Shelby Super Snake? All I know is that it was a narrow-wide-narrow striping all down the car, and was similar to the LeMans striping on the side, but I cant find to see the actually dimensions anyway. Anyone know for sure?

    Has anyone machined the stock heads to accept the 2.02 and 1.60 valves? Can it be safely done? Im just wondering if its cheaper to have the originals ported, polished, and 3 angled, or just buy a whole new set already done like AFR, world products or even roush?
