First, your initial asking price might've scared people off. Second, yours have two piece valves. Third, target audience is somewhat limited by the dates.
About two months ago, people were snatching up new Speedmaster aluminum heads for ~$1100. If you add stainless valves to your $950... |

Saying "used existing valves" is the point of confusion. What does that mean? Are the valves the original, stock valves or aftermarket 1 piece stainless valves?

There are really only two options if you are intent on selling. Wait longer or lower the price...

I've sold two running engines. I had them both in my test stand ready to run. One was a 307 Chevy and the other was a 326 Pontiac engine. They sell real quick when the buyer can see and hear them.

I know a magnet won’t stick to the exhaust valves the machinist told me they were stainless if not I don’t know. Evidently they were misrepresented to me and I am trying to remove them from for sale forum .
No longer for sale Thanks for information Greg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by footjoy; 02-14-2020 at 07:59 PM. |

FYI- stock Pontiac exhaust valves are one-piece stainless. The exhaust valve in the photo is an OEM valve from a '68 -16 head- it got mangled when the head fell off that cylinder's 2-piece intake valve.

Coulda sworn stock 68 exhaust valves were SS heads and ferrous stems.
