Thread: 781 Head Price.

Tweet

I have been watching e-bay pricing on cylinder heads.
A core set sold for $175 with out hot-tank and magnaflux.
I have about 35 sets of different oval port heads sitting around.
What do you think a set of 781's that have been hot tanked,magnafuxed,surfaced, new guides,street valve job,2.19/1.88 valves stainless steel,Comp. cam springs good to .575 lift,steel locks,steel retainers,teflon seals,ARP studs,a bowl blend,and a intake port match would bring at a swap -meet.
The reason I ask is I have not sold heads like this in over a year.
Have they really gone up that much??
Fire away at what you think you would pay for a set of heads like these.

I would imagine about $600-$700? I haven't been on ebay in a while, but about a year ago something like that would go for $500-$600. Someone will pay that, if you consider Merlin iron oval ports are about $1300. You might be able to get a little more????

I would think more like $35.00! (I'm looking for a set)
