Most of the F-Bodies built by the strike date in the first week of April would have likely had earlier dated heads on them.

100% agree with Rick. The current BIN listing of 2750 has been listed at least 3 times, and the heads are just cores, not noted as professionally gone through with new 1piece stainless valves, new springs, and a killer valve job. To get up over 2k-2200 a pair, we're not talking assembled cores, but from what many of us have observed, for quite a few years, a pair of 7F6's need to be really clean & owner is going to have recently spent some $$$ on the above. In the last few months, on eNay, there has been at least 3 pairs of core 7F6's sell in the mid to high teens, several pairs took multiple relistings to get that.

On the block, that's a mighty early '72 auto unitized app 455 HO block, was it out of an F-body, or by chance does it have a 22P10xxxx as the partial VIN stamp by the timing cover?
