The D2VE-AA heads are single year heads (1972 model year) that Ford dropped quick because they are detonation prone. Not a performance head by any means and the one single head design that we enthusiasts don't inlcude on the BBF heirearchy of perfomance cylinder heads. they are the only open chamber head that Ford make for the 460's.
If it had D0VE or D3VE heads, it'd certainly be worth the money, but with the D2VE heads, you really need to consider swapping them out for the other's that I mentioned.
This assumes that you want to build a performance engine of any kind. Motor ought to work in an oem passenger car application, although I would personally pass, still.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
