Good luck and maybe one day I can show you how to put a shift kit in that tko ����
It already has some tire under it, 345/30/19 on 12" wide wheel. I'm fairly certain that 705#ft will rape any street tire. I have another set of 18x12's that may get a 345 MT drag radial if I ever go to a dragstrip. My 'shift kit' is a full workover by Libery Gears and a RAM 10.5" dual disc clutch I like my hotrods with 3 pedals.

The valves included would be more for long hour run time under high loads not, high rpm..
The Edelbrock Marine heads come with a black anodized coating and the only difference in valves are the addition of Inconel exhaust valves, and no valve springs/retainers come on the heads from edelbrock. Other than that they are exactly the same as the Performer RPM/GM ZZ big block heads as far as I know. Of course I could be wrong. I had already made the decision to get the head fixed for use in another project and I'll be replacing all the valves at that time. I had the heads checked out and put on a flowbench before I ran them on the 454, but obviously that didn't matter.
