l92 valves are hard to find and are expensive. Those intake valves are heavy unless you get the hollow stem valves. Im runnin patriot .660 springs

if all you have is the bear castings:
valves
guides
rockers (offset intake & regular exhaust)
rocker stands
whatever springs

I'd think that the dealership would be the best place to get the valves, or gmpartsdirect.com maybe
