SBC C/P 1.600 Exhaust Valve

The FERREA SBC C/P 1.600 Exhaust Valve is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance small block Chevrolet engines competing in street, strip, and race applications. Built for builders and enthusiasts who demand reliable valve operation under sustained high RPM and elevated combustion pressures, this Competition Plus exhaust valve delivers the durability and consistency required when peak performance is non-negotiable. Whether you're assembling a dedicated race engine or upgrading an existing platform, this valve addresses the critical need for thermally stable, corrosion-resistant exhaust flow control.

Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the SBC C/P 1.600 Exhaust Valve features a 1.600-inch head diameter optimized for flow efficiency and combustion sealing on small block Chevy cylinder heads. The 11/32-inch valve stem diameter ensures compatibility with standard competition valve guides while maintaining tight tolerances critical to cylinder pressure retention and emissions control. At 5.560 inches in overall length, this valve integrates seamlessly into most SBC head configurations without requiring custom porting or stem modification. Stainless construction resists oxidation and thermal fatigue, protecting against the exhaust-side corrosion and warping that compromises longevity in forced-induction or high-heat environments.

Competition builders and engine shops rely on FERREA exhaust valves for naturally aspirated and boosted small block Chevy platforms, from carbureted hot rods to fuel-injected LS conversions requiring modern component standards. Installation pairs best with quality valve seats, springs rated for your target RPM ceiling, and precision rocker geometry to eliminate stem wear and guide scuffing. Individual valve purchase allows selective replacement or staged cylinder head assembly without committing to complete valve set costs. For sustained reliability at 7,000+ RPM or in nitrous oxide and turbo applications, the SBC C/P 1.600 Exhaust Valve eliminates a common failure point.
