Normal people: 150 to 200 max
Dragaholic: 2000 ... each.

Never fails, always have to throw in something smart. I was thinking maybe $225.

I picked up a pair, assembled, for 225 shipped, from a sponsor. They were low mileage take-offs from GMMG. So.....private sale, go from there.

Damn, that's a good deal. It was a set of heads with valves, valve seals, valve seats, springs, retainers, keepers, etc. with shipping?

As you can see, the peanut gallery agrees with my post. 150 to 200 COMPLETE, ready-to-run is the going rate. They're probably about 2000/ea. list price from GM, which is in line with what you think your used **** is worth. My post stands

Jeramy, those heads aren't worth much. I bought a set last year for $150 complete, fresh off of an engine. The MOST I've seen them sell for is $200/pair. Hell, you can buy more desirable 6.0L heads for $225-250 now. You can also find CNC ported LS6 heads complete with valvetrain from Livernois for less than a grand.

Ask $200, or just keep them.

$150-200 is all they are worth. They would be good for someone who has non-241 heads and wanted something stock/slightly better.

Not the best deal I could have found but I needed them in a pinch and I knew they had some.

And yes, they are complete as they run on a motor.

For bare, I wouldn't have paid more than 150. I needed the valves.
