I have made intakes frome 427 GM SS valves.Stems are .372 instead of .370 so you pick up .002,but the 2 1/8 heads have to cut down and the faces reground to 35deg.Not worth the effort with the parts available these days.

I use O.S. stems whenever I can. It saves the steps of heating-removing-replacing and waiting for the mass to cool down so the new guides can be reamed and honed to size. .002 wouldn't fix this set but 3/8" stems will make the guides straight and true. That is if they were available, so far I've had no luck in finding anything other than stock size.Kerry AMCA # 15911
