I dont think your going to be able to fit those heads on that motor.... I believe your gonna need atleast .040 overbore... I heard rumor that large 2.05 valves will flow badly on small bore motors..... you MAY want to consult an experienced engine builder before going any further

meh, i wouldnt worry about that, the main thing that effects flow is not having the chambers in the head unshrouded..... which isnt a problem on aftermarket heads designed to work with valves that big.

btw the dif between .030 and .040 is only gonna be .005 on the side where the intake vavle is, thats not enough to mean anything at all.

no TS for you today Adder?
