Default 2005 GTO engine ?

What do you guys think the top end, heads and intake are worth off a 05 GTO 6 liter?

heads should be a 243 casting - same as ZO6 but with standard valves instead of hollw stem or sodium filled exhaust - a little heavier but fine - the intake isnt worth much and it takes a 90mm throttle body the ZO6 intake still flows better with a 78mm TB. heads 4-500 is the norm

Like the previous posts said maybe $400 - $600 Depending on the completeness of the manifold, does it have the injectors and fuel rails and throttle body? And the heads are they complete? How many miles on the set-up? This is like me asking you "How much would you charge me to come and paint my house?" Who Knows you have never seen my house, is it a 2 story? is it stucco? is it brick? How big is my house? You were given some general ball park figures but there is a lot of things that factor in that could change the price both up and down quite a bit. Good Luck
