how much to sell my 351 C heads?

[slowco95]

hey guys, im wanting to know how much i should sell my 351 cleveland heads for? they are completely bare except for a new set of valves. They are the 2 barrel model btw. i would put pics up but i cant figure out how. :wall:

200 bucks? I :dunno: can't imagine they are worth alot

 

[realitygt]

more than $200 they're pretty rare heads even if they are the 2v and still flow much better than almost any. I really don't know the pricing but more than $200

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Cleveland heads aren't rare, are you high?

What year heads are they. The early 70's heads flow great. All they need is a clean up. They are worth more than $200.00 depending on the year. I think 71-72 flowed the best.

All of the US made 2V heads are open chamber which promotes detonation issues in Clevelands. That is why the Aussie 302C 2V heads with their closed chambers are so valuable. The 2V's are better for a street engine than 4V's and stock stroke but the open chambers are a pain.

US 2V Clevelands are not considered anything special. If someone wants to give you $200 - $250 for them, without valve springs, or even with questionable valve springs, I would take it. How much did you pay for the valves? That should factor in too.

not all, closed chambers are

i bought everything for 200 bucks from a friend. he told me they are brand new valves (still in the box) how do i tell if they are the aussie or U.S heads?

 

[MeanGrn Gt]

u can tell by the shape of the chamber. the quench (aussie) heads have a distinct shape

you could post it up on Corral, they have a whole section on the 351's on up.

 

[Mr. OAM]

In the past 4 years I've become rather "researched" in 351C's as I have one (from Australia) and am going to be building it for my Aussie project car.

The US 2V heads will have open combustion chambers which means that the chamber shape will practically be a whole round pocket instead of a wedge shape. If they were Aussie heads you never would have got them for $200.

I wish I had ausi heads on mine...

they're worked over US 2V's :crazy2:

 

[slowco95]

i'll take a look at them when i get home. dalamar i would like to know more about your head setup. you have cleveland heads on your car?

 

[MeanGrn Gt]

u can get bare aussies for 400.

I've got a Cleveland built up for my 67 project.
I did new valves & seats, all new parts, roller rocker conversion, and ported the exhaust size to match the hookers.
left the intake side cast. rough in, smooth out.

Build thread and more specs in the thread linked at the bottom of my sig.
