Help needed tracking down valves

Having a hard time finding int. & exh. Valves for my 289. The (old TRW) part numbers are as follows Intake V2609 1".900 head dia. & 4.858" length Exhaust S2608 1".600 head dia. & 4.855" length I am having zero luck at tracking new ones down. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Again the part numbers listed above are old TRW #'s. I need 8 int. & 8 exh. Thanks!!

Search for 1.9 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves for ford. Is it the length you are having a problem with? They should be pretty common.

The problem is that the ones I have are for SBC. This is what was so confusing. I called Manley and they gave me some part numbers that should work.

They must have been machined to fit. Strange to me, might be common to engine builders or old schoolers.

From the research I have done, I have found that it was an old way to get a lot more out of these 289's. I know mine ran very well...
