big valve C heads with aftermarket springs

i got this engine last summer all apart, the guy bought it from a friend that (this is his story) built the engine and put 3000 miles on it and then scuffed a cylinder and piston in one cylinder. that was in the early 1980s he said. it never ran sense. i have no idea what the springs are but they were to match the cam that was in it. the cam was a Lunati SPD1310 if that tells you anything. i tend to believe the story to some degree because the parts all look very good that came out of it (well other than the piston) by the way, would the used lunati cam be worth much of anything to anyone?

i am hoping i can get honest opinions what they would be worth. you won't hurt my feelings, just give it to me straight.

here are a couple pictures. i looked them over and i can not confirm that they are aftermarket springs so i am only going to sell them as stock and if they are better then you got lucky. i am selling as a set of core heads. is $200 plus shipping OK? the rocker studs and plates don't go with them.

i done some checking and the springs on these heads are Lunati number 73126. i will have to have my buddy check them to see if the springs match the specs of the 73126 part number. also has chromoly retainers.

WOW, a little more than i thought it would be. looks like about $75. i would almost drive and meet you part way if you wanted. maybe Champaign IL? i would just want some gas money. maybe $30? i do have someone that i think was going to get back with me but not heard form him so i guess they are available. i am not completely sure that i done the Quote right so you may try it yourself. mine in 47834 and each head with the packaging would be about 60 lbs.
