So this guy is selling me a set of 243 heads that came off of a z06 vette with 15000 with valves (which i dont know what he means by valves) but hes selling them for 400 should i jump on it or pass?
Right now i have headers ory pipe a pulley and a lid waiting to be installed and i have a bullet muffler on the way.

Buy them. He's referring to the sodium filled valves that came with the 243s. That seems like a very fair price for low mileage heads.

The seller's reference to "valves" may indicate that the heads have the sodium-fllied/hollow valves that come with LS6 sourced 243s but not with 243s from LS2s. In any event that is a good price for low milages 243s.

Yes, get them, Then you'll have on of the best stock catings heads available. A good valve job and a bit of porting and you are set.
