Dustin,

I've been through my 270/302 shop manual and don't see any reference to
"water nozzles" anywhere in the cylinder head section - what are you
referring to?

A  4 angle valve job refers to the taper cuts under the valve seats. It
gives a smoother, more gradual flow from the valve to the combustion
chamber. It's a normal procedure for any high performance engine.

The "GMC Super Power" emblems are a custom creation by Tom Langdon of
Stovebolt Engine Co. The basic "Super Power" emblem is actually a hood
emblem from a '50s White Freightliner diesel truck. The "GMC" logo was
snipped out of a GMC valve cover and added to the original design.
