What's current value of "F" heads.

Are 1970 "F" heads reproduced by any of the vendors? ie Fusick of parts place?

A nice set that is uncut will run you $3000 as cores. They came down from what they were several years ago.

Fusicks no, Parts Place was going to do them as well as D and H but I am guessing not enough pre orders

so as of this writing, there has been no reproductions of any of the desired heads for 68 69 H/O or 1970 and 1971 W-30? Is this accurate?

Thanks.

Like Dean said, three or four years ago The Parts Place started looking for pre-orders. As far as I've seen it never went anywhere.


I can tell you I looked into reproducing tri-carb manifold and the toughest nut to swallow is to point scan it accurately you have to cut the manifold in half. With 3D printing you're going to start seeing everything rare reproduced. Creating a core, mold, and machining for the manifold was under five grand. I can't believe no one's done the 69 H/O intake yet. Heads are a more difficult casting and more machine work but there's a bigger market.

With the price of aluminum heads being what they are, half of the market is going for those instead.

For the same reason the 69 H/O air cleaner was not produced as well as the intake...not enough demand, The heads would have a better chance
