What're they worth? 906s...

[Herr_Poopschitz]

Details:
906s
Hardened seats
2.14, 1.81s
Bowl work per MP templates
Valve springs came in a hyd flat tappet Lunati kit I bought years ago - cam is .507/.534.
Also has the retainers and locks from same kit.

I built the engine about 12 years ago or so, but while in college I never had the $ to finish the rest of the car, then got distracted by late model stuff...so most of the run time was it just sitting and idling or moving the car on and off a trailer at diff storage locations. So the cast guides and valve job are virtually new as well.

I'm putting together a new induction pkg and really have no idea what these are worth since I've been out of the Mopar world for so long...help please!

Did I post in the wrong sub-forum or does no one have an idea?

The sad part is that even though they are probably great heads, you will be unlikely to get much for them. I have some heads that I did the exact same thing to (plus all new bronze valve guides). I would probably be lucky to give them away. Problem is that there are so many different Aluminum heads available and some are pretty inexpensive. Kind of makes our 'old school' stuff obsolete. I spent over $3000 on my heads back in the 1980's and they might be worth a few hundred bucks now.
Good times...

Fresh about the price of the valve job and valves.I have a set the same that I wouldnt sell for 500. but doubt I could get 400.

I'd say realistically anywhere from $250 to $400.

5window is about right. Plus, sitting is bad. The valve job is old, meaning 3 angle. The porting-was it for the stock valves, or 2.14's? Or are they just bowl? And though you know they are fresh, most buyers would look at them more like cores. $200-300, in my opinion.

Afraid the others are right. Had a very nice set of 452's that had a bowl job and blended into the ports and milled some but with stock valves. These came from the factory with hardened exhaust seats too. IRRC, I got 125 for them a few years ago. Got tired of lugging them to all the different swap meets....but 906's should bring more since they are specific to 68-70 engines.
