LA 360 budget build ideas

A 1.78" valve is pretty small to feed 360 cubes. Chrys introduced the B engine in 1958 & I am not sure what the valve size was, but it was larger than 1.78". The 'standard' Ford 351 Clevelands had 2.04" valves [ 4V had 2.19"]; AMC 360 had 2.025"; Pontiac 350 1.96" & the 350 HO had 2.11" valves.
Bigger valves would help & offset any loss due to reduced velocity.
