Where is a good place to get parts for my 66 300ci heads? Looking for intake valves and valve springs. Getting hard to find. Thanks

Here's a couple for intake valves:

Here's a couple for exhaust valves (easier to find):

And here is some information on larger valves:

RockAuto.com shows some valves, but doesn't seem to have a full set readily available.
A shop that works with heads may be able to fit other valves.

Larger Valves for 300 heads
Has anyone ported the 300 aluminum heads? How about putting in larger valves? Drop me a line if you have any info. I have a 215 that has been punched to 3.726" (Chevy 305 standard) and am using 283 rods, 300 crank and 305 standard pistons with flat tops. Randy Buicks make torque!

Any GOOD machine shop has readily available valves & other parts through most/many of their suppliers.

Thanks Tom it was a Machine shop that told me parts were hard to find. I will take the heads to him and hope for the best 1,000.00 dollars later.
Don't write off NAPA or Advanced Auto or maybe even Auto Zone.
MAYBE another machine shop???

if you don't have any of these things:bent, excessive pitting, or worn valve stem. the machine shop can clean and regrind/cut the valves you have. additionally, they would cut the three angles in the heads' valve guides.
eggemachine a good place to look

Thank you. This was the type of info I was looking for. I had never heard of edge machine. That is why it is important to ask questions to find answers from more experienced people. It is too bad there is not a forum that I know of to ask questions, so we can learn from Gentlemen like you to keep the old Buicks from being scrap metal for the next Camry.
