A couple of people have asked me what my bottom price is. I don't know yet. That's why I was asking the community here what a fair price might be. I started out asking $3,600.00, which at the time I thought was a pretty good price, however I am not so sure that anybody else did.

Even though I have no use for the heads now, I do have a considerable amount of money and time invested in the heads or actually my whole ZR-1 hobby. As such I would be nice to recoup some money while still having the buyer feel they are getting a good value. I want to be fair with the buyer and myself as the seller. Of course in the end, they are only worth what somebody is willing to pay.

Hopefully in a day or so with the help of your input, I will have a good guess at a price.

Thanks again for everybody's input.

UR,
If it helps, I paid circa $3K for a brand new set of Dunn's last year. No cams, no valves, etc. That probably reflects more my own desire to own them, rather than a true "market" price. I am in the category of those who were looking for a spare set of heads to modify, rather than use my own. Generally, a used set of heads (unported) has been going for $2500-$3000 on Ebay and elsewhere, IMO.

By the way, I've gotten the shortblock I bought from you completely torn down.... and just waiting for a big-inch buildup!

All the best,
Todd

UR,

If you recall, I was contemplating buying the heads at the time I bought the IHs and TB from you. I think the economic calc was that buying
the heads at $3600 offered no advantage over having the entire top end done by some members here. $3600 heads + 1500-$2000 for motor pull and install isn't much less than starting out with your own heads.
To the members however, the IH and TB I bought were done very nicely and URs packaging was first class.

I bought my heads New N.O.S. from DRM less then ebay used price.

I think you might do a little better selling heads and cams saperate.

OK I have come up with a price for the heads. I think the price is quite fair especially considering they have been ported by a master and are thermal coated. The thermal coating should provide some added protection should the fuel mix get too lean.

$2,200.00 for the heads and covers picked up in Wood River, IL.

Note that does not include the cams, the followers (lifters), or shipping.

I will throw in the head-bolts (torqued one time), the original Torx cam cover bolts (some are rough), a partial stainless steel bolt kit (missing the six small bolts in the covers), and two unused factory exhaust gaskets.

$400.00 for the four stock cams and followers picked up in Wood River, IL. The heads buyer has first dibs on the cams; Pete is next in line (if still interested).

Wood River, IL 62095 is about 20 miles NE of St. Louis MO.
