2 to 3 hundred seems ok to me for the 093's but that sucks for the earlier heads. Doug are you saying that if you have an older one that needs rebuilding to get rid of it and put a 400 in it?

Unless you have a car engine that uses (can use) a set of 1962 heads, there is not much value for them. As it turns out, about 10 years ago I had a rough 62 Catalina hardtop that had a poor running 2bbl 389. I pulled it and the auto tranny and put in an early 70's 455 with turbo 400 and 1969 longbranch manifolds. I pulled the parts off the 389, sold the heads for $30 and put some other parts under the bench, scrapped the block and crank. Sold the Catalina a couple years ago.

Changeover from a 1962 389 to a bigger later model V-8 is fairly easy to do, although the tranny hump needs to be slightly enlarged.

I assumed from your initial posting that the 1962 heads were a leftover from your earlier Pontiac activity of several years ago.

Good luck!
