I think the biggest size without moving the exhaust valve over is

2.055 x 1.60

The W-2's have special intake rockers that move the push rod over for more clearance for the intake ports. There is no "pushrod bulge" like in the stock heads. A specific intake that matches the heads must be used. They really scream though. Still one of the best flowing small block heads you can get. [even though they were developed in the '70s.] 'Course ya gotta use the associated valve train with them also. Think they got a different header bolt pattern too. {not 100% sure}.
