Um I'm trying to sell them not give them away! I don't think you could even by a set of ls heads out of a junk yard for that price. Let alone ls6 style heads. The price I have is about as fair as it gets, look them up on eBay or anywhere else. I doubt they even need a valve job . Probably just disassemble and clean and do the mill. But in my opinion if your gonna do a head swap why not freshin them up or better yet get a full port job with larger stainless valves. Listen I'm not hard up for money by any means. I just don't see me doing anything with them for awhile. But I dont have a problem sitting on them caus they will always be sought after. Thanks rob

The only set really sought after are the Z06 version with sodium filled valves.

The set you have is pretty common, just FYI.

Yes they are common but everybody seems to want a set. I bet ai, texas speed and all the other head shops do 95 % of their business on the ones with sodium valves hu. I mean dont that make a lot of since to do a full Cnc port job and stick with stock valve sizes. When you can drop in light weight stainless valves. Larger and swirl polished, with a good ol 5 angle valve job. Yall go low ball someone who doesn't know anything about hot rods or " ls engines" FYI I know exactly what I have, and what they are worth and when yall find them at that below junk price let me know ill pick up a few more sets!

I'm not interested in them, just letting you know why you might not be getting any bites. You can find low mileage sets that don't need any work on ls1tech for $400-$500 all day...

Ok so tell me if my math is off 300 + 50 shipping + 150 to clean and mill. =500= brand new surface and more compression=more power! Or take a chance on some low mile ones that may not even be low mile or any better. I don't think I'm unfair on my price. He wants the heads for 150. Um no! I admit some just want some stock heads ready to run to throw on. But most people looking for HP and are willing to get new head bolts,gaskets, and tear down the whole top end are wise enough to at the very least freshin up the heads to save doing it all over. Some like me would even say if im gonna go through the trouble of the swap I may as well do a full port and get 50ish whp out of the deal. But thats just my .02

yea... ok

$350-$400 is the going rate for a pair of takeoff 799/243's. Shipping is the killer, but list them on CL and you'll get them sold quick enough. People are finally realizing they're good for boosted 5.3's so you can keep some low end grunt.

Last set I had sold for $450.00 off of craigslist to the 1st person who looked at them and my phone flat rang off of the hook. and they didnt have sodium filled valves. They were the truck 243's.

Yep, that's what I was getting at. They were on just about everything for a while so they aren't exactly hard to find.
