I wouldn't worry about fitting inserts with the 35.6mm inlet. You'll find every single aftermarket supplier sells heads with a 36-29 valve combination and inserts, it's very rarely a problem. From the flowbench work I've done the big valve head doesn't flow a huge amount more than its smaller valved counterpart, but with a few very simple mods, and without even touching the ports, some impressive gains can be seen.

Sorry to revive an old thread but did this get written up re the β€˜simple mods β€˜ ?
Thanks

Simple mods tend to be 3 angle valve seats, back cut valves where you cut a 30 degree cut on the back of the valve which also reduces the valve seat to a minimum of 60 thou or 1.5mm in new money, also remove the raised edge around the valve seat.
