Roll them up in corrugated cardboard, I use at least 4 layers. If shipping assembled with valves and studs I use either a wood stick or tightly rolled-up cardboard to add support in that area, as seen in the photo below.

Shipped numerous sets this way, never an issue.

I recently shipped a pair of bare '69 RAIV castings and they arrived in perfect condition as expected. This method works great for both $300.00 & $3,000.00 sets of heads, use it with confidence.

Thanks for the visual, that really helps because I was wondering how to do the sides and the rocker stud and valve area.

Thanks again,

I have them both wrapped and ready to ship.

Thanks again for all the help.

I also slice the sides as I roll (4 layers) them and use a rubber mallet to knock them in. Bolting a set of junk valve covers helps also. I write the "to" address under the taped on one "just" in case. I used to shrink wrap them also in case they got wet the cardboard wouldn't deteriorate. This is quite the workout, but better than a phone call that they were damaged.
