I think it was 66 or 67. Earlier engines can be converted cleaply by 
just installing the valves with the chrome plated stems.

DON'T make the mistake of buying the older style non-plated valves 
which, for some reason, are still around and cheap for a reason.

I can never remember which valves it is that are plated. Is it the 
exhaust valves?
