Good luck... even @ $100 for the pair, I've had no luck getting rid of my stock 241 heads on here. Of course, mine have 201,500 miles on them

Do your heads say "241" or "243" on them? If they're "243" (ls6 heads) you might get 4 or 5 hundred for them. 241s are a dime a dozen, apparently.

veyr true..I have BRAND NEW bare 241 heads. I get alot of dreamers but no takers. I only want $200 the pair and I cant get rid of them for anything. I mean, you cant get a set machined/rebuilt for even close to that price.

I'm watching a couple on ebay to see what they sell for... if it's more than $50, that's probably not a bad route. Will let you know when they sell!

I was lucky, my engine builder was desperate for 241's @ the time my 383 was being built....they gave me $600 for them towards the engine build. That was about 4 years ago tho. These days $100-150 is doing good.
