Cylinder Heads
I have a set of 455 C Heads that I might be Selling. They are not re-done but they are good shape. How much are they worth? And would any of you be interested in purchasing said Cylinder heads if I sell them? Thanks guys

C-head cores sell for $100-$150 a pair regularly, depending on condition and valve size. Small valve rusty cores run at the low end, big valve (and that needs to be 100% sure, not less) without a lot of rust run at the high end. There was a clown here in DC that had a set of rusty, crusty small valve C heads on Craigslist for about a year, touting how rare they were, yada, yada. Price slowly dropped to $600. Still no sale. Note that C heads are the second most common BBO heads, behind Js.
Note to Bill: Please let us know where that boneyard is that still has cars with C heads in it. Here in the mid-Atlantic region, you're hard pressed to find a car in a wrecking yard with a 307 anymore, let alone a BBO. It's been over two decades since Olds made any V8s (other than the Aurora/Northstar).

I picked up a three motors one for 50 bucks because it was cracked from not winterizing the boat witch had big valve ka heads so , yes there out there for cheap if you spend the time and hunt for them, but time is money no matter how you chop it up it might be cheaper to buy at a higher price and be done with it

Bill is right about there being several yards still left here in WI with 60's and 70's. But those are going fast as the owners grow older or go to the great beyond! The rest of the family only sees the money they can get if the whole thing is scraped or sold as a whole. A lot of yards have gone to the metal scrapers. I've been lucky finding parts or parts cars just hanging around peoples backyards. There either something they just parked and let sit or the "I'm going to fix it up one day". Kinda like my 67 Cutlass convertible that's been sitting in my shop for the last 5 years! Going to fix that up one day.
