How much is my L98 Alluminum heads worth?

I have a pair in my camaro, Its from an 88' Corvette, The heads are NOT warped or cracked. B4 i isntalled it into my motor(about 900 miles ago) it was Rebuild,new valve seals and a 3 angle valve job(stock replacement valves). The exhaust and Intake ports were ported and polished. Im considering about selling these, What are they worth.

I'll give you $100 for the set . I'm not real sure, but I've seen 'em sell for around $500-600 on ebay...maybe a little more if the porting is done. What do you want to get out of them, and how did the car run with them installed?

Well they were on my 305 TPI and i noticed a great improvement, It pulled a whole lot better even on top end. I want to get a set of AFR heads. Guess i'll throw them on ebay.

thanx

Been trying to sell a set recently for $650- no takers in 3 months. I'm talking brand new still-in-box heads that were never used

I think I'd let mine go for $550-600.

Thought I'd share my experience on this exact issue. I had a set of ported Corvette aluminum heads on my 305. Saw a noticeable improvement with them. Then I decided to go with AFR's. Paid about $1400 and saw absolutely NO gain. It was a waste of time and $$$.

On another note, AFR no longer makes heads for a 305. I bought one of the last sets they made in November, 2001.
