If it's a 350 with #6 heads, then they can't be F heads. #6 heads are correct for a 1970 350 engine though, and no, they aren't particularly valuable like an F head. Most 1970 455s had E heads, while only the W30s had F heads. That rarity is why they are worth a lot more.

Never heard of that block? but yes 6 heads are correct for 1970.

You colud put BBO heads on a SBO, but you'll lose so much compression. I'm very good friends with a guy that has "E" heads on a 350 block in a 72 Cutlass (At least I think it's a 72, he lives in IL so it's not like I see him everyday) I know he has domed pistons in it, but they don't make those anymore
