I've got both Magnum intake and exhaust valves, here are the part numbers: Intake valve 2476368. Exhaust valve 2476374. the valves you have are much earlier part numbers, might be for earlier non Magnum 401 and 478 engines. I'll some of my parts books and see if those numbers come up.

Thanks. The Sn: is cast into the head, I don't have them apart yet. Just picked them up 2 weeks ago. Unpacking the crates.

The pic on the left shows the head with larger valves but the only way to know if they are Magnums is by the intake and exhaust ports. Gets some pics taken of the ports then I can tell you what you've got
